  Hi,

  The Twenty Twenty theme will automatically scale a featured image to 1200 pixels in width, if the file image has a width of greater than 1200 pixels, while keeping the same width to height ratio For example, the file image used for the featured image on the post Hello World! on the Twenty Twenty demo is 2880 wide X 1400 high (in pixels), which is a ratio of about 2.057:1. When resized for the featured image, it is scaled to 1200 X 583, keeping approximately the same width to height ratio.

  The featured images on your homepage have dimensions 1080 X 1080 pixels. Because the width is less than 1200 pixels it isn’t necessarily scaled to a smaller size, though to viewer it may appear scaled depending upon the screen size of the device used to view it.

  The scaling of featured images on Twenty Twenty is all done automatically; there is no option to reduce the size of featured images with the Featured Image creating tool on this theme. Therefore, the way to produce smaller featured images is to use smaller file images.
