Reddit Banner (Desktop) Resizer

What matters

Reddit Banner (Desktop) dimensions at a glance

Reddit desktop banners are an extreme 4000×128 strip — one of the most constrained banner formats on any platform. Only a texture, gradient, or minimal repeated pattern works at this ratio.

A customized banner distinguishes active, well-maintained subreddits from default ones. It signals community investment and professionalism.

Complex imagery becomes an unreadable smear at 128px tall. Text is virtually impossible to read unless it's extremely large and bold.

Best practices

Use the crop intentionally

• Use a repeating pattern, gradient, or simple texture rather than detailed imagery.
• Avoid text entirely — it's too narrow to be readable.
• Test across different screen widths since the banner tiles or stretches.
