Resize without distortion

Load an image: its current width and height are shown. Keep the padlock on to preserve the proportions: changing the width automatically adjusts the height, and vice versa. Presets give a result in one click: 50%, 25%, or a standard width such as Full HD (1920), 1080 or 512 pixels.

Which size should you choose?

UseRecommended width
Profile picture400 to 512 px
Image in a blog post1200 to 1600 px
Full-screen image on a website1920 px
Square social media post1080 px
Readable email attachment1280 to 1600 px
Good-quality 4 × 6 in printabout 1800 px wide

For printing, remember the 300 dots per inch rule: a print 4 inches wide needs about 1200 pixels, one 6 inches wide about 1800.

Shrinking yes, enlarging with care

Shrinking an image is safe: pixels are removed and the image stays sharp. Enlarging, however, does not create detail: the software invents the missing pixels by interpolation, and the image turns blurry beyond roughly one and a half times its original size.

Dimensions and file size: two different things

Halving the width divides the number of pixels by four, and the file size roughly as much. To make it lighter still, run the image through Compress image afterwards. Resize first, compress second: that order gives the best result.

Distorting on purpose

Turn off the padlock to enter width and height freely. The image will be stretched or squashed. To change proportions without distortion, for example from 4:3 to a square, use Crop image instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image sent anywhere?

No, resizing is done locally in your browser.

Why is my image blurry after enlarging?

Because enlarging does not create detail: missing pixels are estimated. Start from the largest image possible and shrink it instead.

Does the image format change?

The image keeps its format where possible. To change format, use the Convert image tool.

How do I get a square without distortion?

Crop the image to a square with the Crop image tool, then resize it to the size you want.
