About 1200x675 pixels
A 1200x675 image is landscape, with an aspect ratio of 16:9, and holds 0.81 megapixels. At 300 DPI it would print at about 4.0 x 2.3 inches (10.2 x 5.7 cm). As a JPEG it usually lands between 89KB and 178KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.
Where 1200x675 is used
A 16:9 size often used for images attached to posts on X and for blog and news header pictures.
- Keep key text and faces away from the edges, because apps crop and place buttons near them.
- Check the platform help page before you upload. Recommended sizes change from time to time.
- Export from your editor at exactly this size, so the platform does not recompress and blur the picture.
Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 1200x675 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 1200x675, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 25% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 16%, a 16:9 screenshot about 0%, and a square image about 44%.
Quality and format
Check the result before you upload
Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 1200x675, the subject is not cut off, and the file is small enough for where you upload it. If a platform sets a size limit, run the result through the online compression tool or choose a limit such as 200KB.
A tip for this size
Wide photos need little cropping. Portrait photos lose the most area. Need another size? Try 1280x720, 1200x630, 1200x628, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image not exactly 1200x675?
You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.
How big will a 1200x675 file be?
As a JPEG, usually between 89KB and 178KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.
Is 1200x675 the right size for X and blog post images?
It is a widely used size for X and blog post images, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.
Will a small photo look blurry at 1200x675?
If the original is smaller than this size, the tool has to enlarge it, and the result can look soft. Start from the largest version you have.
