Getting the best results

Beware non-square pixels in video

DVD-era formats sometimes use non-square pixels, so a 720 × 480 file can be intended to display as 16:9. Check what your editing software expects before assuming it is 3:2.

Crop rather than squash to 3:2

If your source is 4:3 or square, resizing straight to 720 × 480 stretches it. Crop to 3:2 first so the proportions stay correct.

What 720×480 is for

720 × 480 is a video resolution rather than a photographic one. It is NTSC standard definition — the frame size DVDs and older broadcast equipment use — which is why it appears in video editing and digital signage workflows.

Unlike the square sizes, this is a proper 3:2 landscape frame, which happens to match the aspect ratio of most DSLR sensors and standard photo prints.

Where this size is used

DVD menu and still frames, standard-definition video projects, legacy digital signage, older in-car and embedded displays, and video thumbnail placeholders.

What to expect

A 3:2 landscape frame at 0.35 megapixels. Adequate for video overlay and signage, well below what any modern screen displays at full size.

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about resizing images to 720×480 px.

It is the NTSC digital video frame used for DVD and broadcast in North America and Japan. The PAL equivalent is 720 × 576, which is why both numbers appear in video tools.

Closely related. 480p usually means 854 × 480 for widescreen content, whereas 720 × 480 is the DVD frame that may be displayed as either 4:3 or 16:9 depending on the pixel aspect ratio.

It works as a placeholder, though most platforms prefer 1280 × 720. YouTube specifically recommends 1280 × 720 for custom thumbnails.

Not without change. 720 × 480 is 3:2, so a 4:3 image must be cropped or it will appear horizontally stretched. Crop first for a correct result.

Yes, once the page has loaded. Resizing runs locally in your browser with no server involved, so no connection is needed to process the image.

720×480 px is 3:2 landscape at 0.35 MP, which prints at about 61 × 41 mm at 300 DPI. Anything not already in that ratio needs cropping first, or it will be stretched.

Scaling down uses Lanczos resampling, the highest-quality algorithm available in the browser, so the result usually looks sharper than the original viewed at the same size. Scaling up cannot add detail that was never captured.
