How to use Image Resizer

  1. Add an image (JPG, PNG or WebP). Its current dimensions are shown.

  2. Enter a new width or height, or a percentage. Keep the ratio locked to avoid distortion.

  3. Click Resize image.

  4. Preview the result and download.

About this tool

Resizing reduces both dimensions and file size, which is often more effective than compression alone. Enter a target width or height and the other dimension is calculated automatically to preserve the aspect ratio; unlock the ratio only when you genuinely need a non-proportional size. High-quality browser scaling is used, and the output format matches your input so no unexpected conversion happens.

This is especially useful when a platform enforces exact dimension requirements — a profile photo that must be a specific size, a banner image with a fixed width, or a thumbnail spec from a content management system.

Common ways people use this

  • Meeting a platform's exact pixel requirement for a profile photo, banner, or thumbnail
  • Shrinking a large camera photo down to web-friendly dimensions before uploading
  • Creating a smaller version of an image for a slideshow or presentation without stretching it

Tips for better results

  • Use one of the percentage presets (25%, 50%, 75%) for a quick, proportional resize without doing any math.
  • If you need a specific width for a website, resize first and compress afterward for the smallest possible final file.

Frequently asked questions

Will resizing distort my photo?
Not with the aspect ratio locked, which is the default. Entering one dimension calculates the other proportionally. Unlocking the ratio lets you set both freely, which can stretch the image.
Can I make an image larger?
Yes, but enlarging cannot add real detail — the result will be somewhat soft. Upscaling works best for modest increases.
Does resizing change the format or quality?
The output keeps your input format. JPG and WebP are re-encoded at high quality; PNG stays lossless.
What's the maximum size I can resize to?
Up to 20,000 pixels in either dimension, though very large sizes depend on your device's available memory since everything happens in your browser.
Should I resize or crop if I want to remove part of the image?
Resize scales the whole image down or up. If you want to cut away part of the frame instead, use the Image Cropper.
