Why the exact size matters
When you upload something bigger than the platform expects, it is resized on their servers — usually with a fast algorithm that softens edges and introduces artefacts around text. Resizing to the exact pixel dimensions first means the platform has nothing to change, and what you approved is what appears.
The tool above centre-crops to 16:9 and then scales to exactly 1600 × 900. If your source has an important element near an edge, crop it yourself with the image cropper first.
