    About this canvas

    A 1500×500 image is three times as wide as it is tall: a 3:1 canvas. Use it for a profile banner or website header when that shape suits the destination.

    How to make the image

    1. Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 10 MB.
    2. Select Crop, Fit or Stretch. In Crop mode, move the horizontal or vertical crop-position sliders to frame the subject. In Fit mode, choose a padding colour.
    3. Create the 1500×500 image and compare the original and final dimensions, file sizes and previews.
    4. Download the result after checking it at the destination.

    Crop, fit and stretch

    Crop fills the wide canvas and trims the top and bottom of a typical photo; move the crop position to keep faces or text visible. Fit shows the entire source and adds side or top padding. Stretch fills 3:1 without padding but can make people look unnaturally wide.

    Resizing resamples pixels. It may alter sharpness or increase file size; compare the output before use.

    Practical guidance

    For a profile banner, keep the main subject near the middle and leave breathing room at the edges. Profile photos and interface controls may cover parts of a header. Check the destination’s current size and crop rules before publishing.

    Privacy and file handling

    The tool reads, resizes and encodes your image in the browser. It does not upload the image to an IMTools server. The original file is left untouched.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does 3:1 mean?

    For every three pixels of width there is one pixel of height. A 1500×500 canvas has that shape.

    Will a header look identical everywhere?

    No. Sites can overlay controls or crop previews differently. Review your result on the destination before using it.
