Set an image to the exact width and height you need — a 1920px banner, an 800px blog image, a 512px avatar. Drop a file in, type the dimensions, and download the resized copy. Keep the aspect ratio locked so nothing stretches, or unlock it to force an exact box. Everything happens on your device; the image is never uploaded.
How it works
Your image is decoded once and redrawn into a canvas of the size you ask for. When the aspect ratio is locked, changing the width recalculates the height automatically (and vice-versa), so the picture keeps its proportions and nothing looks squashed. Unlock it only when you deliberately want to fit an exact box and don’t mind some stretching.
Making an image smaller is where quality holds up best — the browser averages neighbouring pixels down cleanly. Enlarging past the original pixel count can’t invent detail, so a 500px photo blown up to 2000px will look soft; the tool lets you do it, but the source resolution is the real ceiling. The output keeps the original format (a PNG stays a PNG, a JPG stays a JPG), and JPGs are flattened onto white since they have no transparency.
Practical examples
Fitting an upload size limit
A form accepts images up to 1024px wide. Your photo is 4032×3024 from a phone. Lock the ratio, set width to 1024, and the height follows to 768 — one download and it fits.
A square avatar
You need a 400×400 profile picture but your source is 400×600. Crop it square first, then resize to 400×400 — or unlock the ratio here and force 400×400 directly if a little vertical squeeze is acceptable.
Halving a screenshot for docs
A 2560px retina screenshot is too large for a documentation page. Set width to 1280 with the ratio locked; the height halves to match and the file drops sharply in size too.
Frequently asked questions
Does resizing reduce the file size?
Usually yes — fewer pixels means less data, so a smaller resolution almost always produces a smaller file. If you specifically want the smallest file at the same dimensions, use the image compressor instead, which trades quality for size.
Will the image lose quality?
Shrinking looks clean because detail is averaged down. Enlarging is where quality suffers: the browser can only stretch the pixels it has, so blowing an image up well beyond its native size looks soft or blocky. Resize down freely; resize up only within reason.
What does “lock aspect ratio” do?
It keeps width and height in the same proportion as the original. Type one dimension and the other is calculated for you, so circles stay round and people don’t look stretched. Turn it off only when you need to hit an exact box regardless of proportions.
Can I enlarge a small image?
You can set dimensions larger than the original, but no tool adds detail that was never captured. The result will look softer the more you enlarge it. For print or large displays, always start from the highest-resolution source you have.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP. The output keeps the input format — a transparent PNG stays a transparent PNG. JPGs have no transparency, so any transparent areas are filled with white.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. The resize runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. After the page has loaded you can even work offline, and no image data leaves your device.
Is there a maximum size?
Very large images are limited only by your device’s memory. Extremely high resolutions (tens of megapixels) may be slow on older phones, but typical photos and screenshots resize instantly.
Does it change the DPI for printing?
This tool works in pixels, which is what matters for screens. DPI is just a tag describing how those pixels map to physical inches when printed; changing pixel dimensions is what actually changes how large or detailed a print can be.
Will resizing strip metadata like location?
Yes. Redrawing through the canvas discards embedded EXIF data such as GPS location and camera model — often a welcome privacy side effect before sharing a photo.
Can I resize several images at once?
This tool handles one image at a time so you can set precise dimensions for each. For batch work at a single quality, the image compressor processes many files together.
