Where is 1280×720 Commonly Used?

Best Practices for 1280×720 Images
YouTube enforces a strict 2MB maximum limit for custom thumbnail uploads. Export as high-quality WebP or JPEG with bold, readable text. Once resized, you can host your picture permanently on our Free Image Hosting to get a direct CDN URL, or convert between formats using our Image Converters.
