Resize image changes the pixel size of photos, either to exact dimensions, by a percentage, or to a ready-made format for social media. It is for the common situations where a picture is too big to upload, too small for a print job or the wrong shape for a post. You can process up to 50 files at once.
Photos are resized in your browser and are not uploaded. Each file is listed in the order you added it, and you can save a single result or download all of them in a ZIP. HEIC photos from an iPhone are accepted and saved as JPG.
How to use
- Drop your JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC images on the page or press Choose images. Add more images later with Add.
- Under Resize by pick Pixels, Percent or Preset.
- For Pixels, type a Width or a Height. With Keep proportions on, the other side follows each photo's shape. Turn it off to set both sides yourself.
- For Percent, type a Scale value or move the slider between 10 and 200 percent. For Preset, pick Instagram square (1080 by 1080), Instagram portrait (1080 by 1350), Story (1080 by 1920), YouTube thumbnail (1280 by 720) or Full HD (1920 by 1080).
- With a preset, if the shape of your photo is different from the frame, choose what happens under If the shape differs. Fit keeps the whole picture and fills the empty space with the Background colour. Fill covers the frame and crops the rest.
- Press Save on a row for one file, or Download all for a ZIP. Clear empties the list.
When it helps
Many places have size limits: an application portal asks for a photo under a certain width, a marketplace listing needs a square product picture, a school form wants a smaller scan. Presets save you the guesswork when you need Instagram, a Story or a YouTube thumbnail in the right pixel size. Resizing a whole holiday folder to Full HD before sending it to relatives is another common use.
If you only want a smaller file and not different dimensions, the percentage option does this quickly. Fifty percent of both sides leaves a quarter of the pixels, which cuts the file size substantially.
Tips
- Enlarging a picture cannot add detail, so a small photo made larger will look soft. The page warns you when some images are being enlarged.
- To avoid distortion, change only one side with Keep proportions on. The preset and Fit or Fill options are for when you need an exact frame.
- JPG and WebP are saved at quality 90, and re-encoding removes EXIF data such as location.
- Files that cannot be read are counted in the status line, and the others continue. Some very large sizes hit the browser's own limit, and the row marks that.
- Check the preset sizes with the platform you are posting to. These sizes are common, but platforms change what they recommend.
