The tool lowers the quality step by step until the file fits, and only scales the image down when quality alone is not enough.
The real-world form requirement: an exact pixel size that also has to stay under a file size limit.

Resizing an Image to 1280×720
1280×720 is the size you need for HD video thumbnails and lightweight web headers. 720p is the size YouTube and most CMS themes expect for a thumbnail, and it halves the file size compared with full HD. Uploading a much larger photo and letting the platform scale it down usually costs sharpness, so it pays to resize to the exact size yourself.
Why Resize to 1280×720?
For thumbnails, sharpen the crop rather than the pixels: filling the frame with the subject reads far better at this size. Keeping the aspect ratio fits your photo inside 1280×720 without distortion; turning it off forces the exact dimensions, which is what some upload forms insist on.
Resizing to 1280×720 Step by Step
Drop the image into the upload area, check that the width and height read 1280×720, pick your output format and click resize. The result appears with its new dimensions and file size so you can verify it before downloading. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
