# Compress images for Reddit Ads.

Drop your photos and download them under 3 MB, the file-size limit in Reddit Ads's image rules. The quality is lowered first and the pixel dimensions only when needed; the photo is never cropped. It runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

## What Reddit Ads asks for.

Source: [Reddit Ads Help — Image Ad Specifications; Carousel Ad Specifications; Free-form Ad Specifications; Ad Unit Specifications](https://business.reddithelp.com/s/article/image-ad-specifications) · checked 12 October 2026

Reddit image ad specs: JPG, PNG or GIF up to 3 MB, recommended 1,440 × 1,080 pixels (4:3) across devices, carousels of 2–6 images up to 20 MB each.

- **Limit used:** Under 3 MB per image, saved as JPG
- **Pixels kept:** The rules checked here state no minimum pixel size, so the tool stops before the photo falls under a quarter of its original width.
- **Recommended:** Landscape 4:3 at 1,440 × 1,080 pixels is the recommended cross-device resolution for an image ad, so a single image serves multiple devices, placements and view modes
- **Aspect ratio:** Any aspect ratio can be used, but it may cause formatting discrepancies such as letterboxing
- **Formats:** JPG, PNG or GIF for image, carousel and free-form ad images; a GIF uploaded as a thumbnail is converted to a still image
- **File size:** Maximum 3 MB for an image ad; in a carousel 20 MB per file and 3 MB for GIFs; maximum 10 MB for free-form ad images
