YouTube Shorts size and aspect ratio

YouTube Shorts are vertical and full-screen, using the familiar 9:16 ratio, commonly produced at 1080 × 1920 pixels. RealResizer’s Shorts preset locks that 9:16 ratio so your cover image or still is framed for the Shorts feed.

As with other vertical formats, the Shorts player shows interface elements at the top and bottom of the screen. Keep important content in the central area of the frame and center your subject.

When a Shorts cover needs a 16:9 pairing, the editor can also prepare a standard video thumbnail or channel banner, so resizing an image for YouTube Shorts and your channel stays consistent.
