How to resize an image to 160x600
- Choose or drop your images above.
- Keep “Crop to fill” for an exact 160x600 result, or pick “Fit inside” to avoid cropping.
- Download the resized files individually or as a ZIP.
About 160x600 pixels
A 160x600 image is portrait, with an aspect ratio of 4:15, and holds 96,000 pixels in total. At 300 DPI it would print at about 0.5 x 2.0 inches (1.4 x 5.1 cm). As a JPEG it usually lands between 11KB and 21KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.
Where 160x600 is used
A tall, narrow display ad size used in sidebars.
- Keep the file light. A banner of a few hundred KB loads fast and is rarely rejected.
- Put the important part in the centre. Apps crop banners differently on phones and desktops.
- Avoid small text near the edges, where profile pictures and buttons can cover it.
Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 160x600 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 160x600, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 80% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 82%, a 16:9 screenshot about 85%, and a square image about 73%.
Quality and format
Check the result before you upload
Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 160x600, 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
Stack text vertically and keep the file light so it loads quickly. Need another size? Try 354x472, 300x300, 413x531, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image not exactly 160x600?
You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.
How big will a 160x600 file be?
As a JPEG, usually between 11KB and 21KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.
Is 160x600 the right size for wide skyscraper ads?
It is a widely used size for wide skyscraper ads, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.
Will detail survive at 160x600?
At small sizes fine detail disappears. Crop in close on the main subject and use a simple, high-contrast picture for the best result.
