    tf.nn.max_pool2d(
        input, ksize, strides, padding, data_format='NHWC', name=None
    )

<br />

<br />

<br />

| ## Args ||
|---|---|
| `input` | A 4-D `Tensor` of the format specified by `data_format`. |
| `ksize` | An int or list of `ints` that has length `1`, `2` or `4`. The size of the window for each dimension of the input tensor. |
| `strides` | An int or list of `ints` that has length `1`, `2` or `4`. The stride of the sliding window for each dimension of the input tensor. |
| `padding` | A string, either `'VALID'` or `'SAME'`. The padding algorithm. See the "returns" section of [`tf.nn.convolution`](https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r2.0/api_docs/python/tf/nn/convolution) for details. |
| `data_format` | A string. 'NHWC', 'NCHW' and 'NCHW_VECT_C' are supported. |
| `name` | Optional name for the operation. |
