Why Use This Tool?

Reddit communities (subreddits) each have their own visual identity — a community icon and banner that set the tone for the community. Getting these sizes right helps your community look established and well-maintained. Reddit's community icon is particularly small (256×256) and displayed as a circle, which demands a simple, clear design.

Tip: Reddit's community icon is 256×256 and displayed as a circle — it appears in search results, sidebar lists, and next to post author names. A simple symbol or logo with high contrast works far better than detailed artwork at this size.

Tips for Reddit Images

Community icons are small and circular — use bold shapes, minimal detail, and high contrast. Your icon will often appear at 16–32px in some views.
Banners use a wide 5:1 ratio. Keep important text and logos in the center — the banner may be cropped differently on mobile vs. desktop.
Post images at 1200×628 will display as thumbnail previews in feeds. Ensure the most important part of the image is in the center.
Reddit has a text-heavy culture — images that add visual context to a post perform better than decorative images alone.
Dark mode is common on Reddit — if your community icon has a light background, test how it looks on both light and dark backgrounds.
