About Resize Image to 1280×720

Twelve-eighty by seven-twenty is 720p - the standard HD video-thumbnail and slide size in sixteen-by-nine. Seven-twenty is the resolution a video thumbnail or a presentation slide is composed at before a player or projector scales it up, which is why creators export exactly 1280×720. It is the smallest of the common sixteen-by-nine HD frames and the lightest to upload. A square or portrait source will lose its top and bottom as it fills this wide frame. Video thumbnails and presentation frames are commonly 1280×720. This tool resizes any image to exactly 1280×720 pixels and does it entirely in the browser - the picture is decoded, scaled and returned without being uploaded anywhere. Because the target is fixed dimensions rather than a fixed file size, it scales to fill 1280×720 and covers the frame where the source is a different shape, so the whole area is used rather than left with borders.
