Resize an Image
Make a picture smaller for the web, or larger for print. Give exact pixels, or scale the whole thing by a percentage.

How to use it
Add your images
Drop one or more pictures above, or click to browse. JPG, PNG and WebP all work, and the same settings are applied to each.
Choose how to resize
Percentage shrinks or grows a picture while keeping its shape — 50% halves both sides. Exact pixels is for when a website or a form demands a particular width.
Fill in your numbers
In pixel mode, enter a width and leave the height at 0 to keep the proportions, or fill both to force an exact size. With "keep the aspect ratio" on, the second box follows the first.
Set the output format
JPEG keeps files small and suits photographs. PNG preserves sharp edges and transparency; WebP is smaller still but not accepted everywhere.
Download the results
Each resized picture is saved with its dimensions in the file name, so versions are easy to tell apart.
Common issues
A picture came out stretched
That happens when both width and height are filled with a shape that does not match the original. Clear the height box, or turn on "keep the aspect ratio", to avoid it.
The output is much larger than the input
A format change is usually the cause — a compressed JPEG saved as PNG grows several times over. Choose JPEG for photographs.
Fine text became unreadable
Shrinking a screenshot or a scanned page quickly destroys small lettering. Resize less aggressively, or start from a higher-resolution original.
Transparent areas turned white
JPEG cannot store transparency. Choose PNG or WebP when it matters.
