How to resize an image

1

Upload your image

Drop your JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF onto the tool. Or click to browse. Your file stays on your device.

2

Enter dimensions

Type the width and height you want in pixels. Or switch to percentage mode and scale by a fraction of the original.

3

Lock or unlock aspect ratio

The padlock button keeps proportions intact. Unlock it if you want to stretch the image to a specific shape.

4

Resize and download

Hit Resize Image. Preview the result. Download it. Done.

When do you need to resize an image?

More often than you'd think. Your phone takes photos at 12 megapixels or more, which is great for printing but complete overkill for a website, an email, or a profile photo. A 4000px wide image on a website that displays it at 800px wide is wasting bandwidth and slowing your page down for no reason.

Social media platforms also have specific size requirements. Instagram wants square images at 1080x1080. Twitter thumbnails work best at 1200x675. LinkedIn posts perform better at 1200x627. If you just upload whatever size you have, the platform crops it for you — usually badly.

Forms and upload fields sometimes have strict size limits too. A government form that only accepts files under 2MB won't tell you to resize the image, it'll just reject it. Resize first, upload second.

Pixels vs percentage: which should you use?

Use pixels when you have a specific target size in mind. "I need this image to be 1200px wide." Type 1200.

Use percentage when you just want to make the image smaller without caring about the exact final dimensions. "I need this image to be half the size." Set 50%.

FAQ

Does resizing reduce file size?+
Yes, smaller dimensions usually mean a smaller file. A 4000x3000px image at 80% quality will be much larger than a 1200x900px version of the same image. Resize and compress together for maximum file size reduction.
What does 'lock aspect ratio' do?+
It keeps the width/height ratio the same, so your image doesn't get stretched or squished. When you type a new width, the height updates automatically. Useful almost always.
Can I resize to a specific social media size?+
Yes. Just enter the dimensions manually. Instagram square: 1080x1080. Twitter header: 1500x500. LinkedIn banner: 1584x396. Check our social media sizes guide for a full list.
Will resizing up (enlarging) look good?+
Probably not if you go too large. Browsers use bilinear interpolation to fill in the new pixels, which works fine for modest upscaling but gets blurry at 2x or more. For AI upscaling you'd need a dedicated tool.
What format does the download use?+
The tool outputs the same format as the input file. JPG in, JPG out. PNG in, PNG out.
