LunaPic is a free online image editor that I found very handy to quickly do few basic operations to obtain the necessary 256x128 png to feed to YANBF as a custom banner.
I'll use as a practical example the eCDP banner. The original png is 1361x756 with transparent background.

First step: Upload the image:

Notice that I scaled the height first which gave me a width less than 256 which means we need to expand the canvas precisely to 256x128. Expanding the canvas will not distort the image.


Third step: Resize canvas

Mind to center the image inside the canvas

Voilà. This new png is now ready to use as a custom banner
