How to Resize Images — Step by Step

  1. Upload your images: Drag and drop images into the upload area or click Select Files. You can add multiple images at once. Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and SVG. Note: animated GIFs will be converted to a single static frame.
  2. Choose a resize method: Pick one of three tabs: By Size (enter custom width & height or choose a preset), As Percentage (scale images using the percentage slider), or Social Media (select a platform and pick a preset size).
  3. Lock aspect ratio: Keep the Lock Aspect Ratio checkbox enabled to maintain proportions automatically when changing width or height.
  4. Set output format: Use Save Image As to choose Original, JPG, PNG, or WEBP. When JPG is selected, you can also set a target file size in KB or MB.
  5. Preview & download: The resized images appear on the right panel with original vs. new dimensions and file sizes. Click the download icon on any image, or use the download button to save all at once.

Resize Options

By Size

Set exact pixel dimensions or pick from common presets like Square 1:1, Widescreen 16:9, Full HD, and Ultra HD.

As Percentage

Scale images proportionally from 10% to 200%. Great for quick thumbnails or upscaling.

Social Media Presets

Ready-made sizes for Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and YouTube — profiles, covers, posts, stories, and thumbnails.

Target File Size

When exporting as JPG, set a maximum file size in KB or MB. The tool automatically adjusts quality to match your target.

Format Conversion

Export resized images as JPG, PNG, or WebP — or keep the original format.

Batch Processing

Resize multiple images at once. Upload as many as you need, apply settings, and download all with a single click.

About Image Resizing

Image resizing adjusts an image's dimensions while preserving its aspect ratio. This is essential for thumbnail creation, web optimization, and fitting images into specific layouts.

This tool processes everything directly in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device. There are no uploads, no server transfers, and no privacy concerns.

JPEG images are resized using bilinear interpolation for smooth edges. PNG and WebP images are re-encoded with maximum quality to prevent loss of sharpness. SVG files are processed without changing their vector nature, preserving scalability.

Supported Formats

JPEG

JPEG images are resized using interpolation algorithms that balance quality and processing speed. The resized image is re-encoded with optimized compression settings for the new dimensions.

PNG

PNG images maintain their transparency and image data integrity during resizing. The tool preserves full color depth and uses efficient compression for the new dimensions, ensuring no loss of quality.

WebP

WebP offers superior resizing capabilities with both lossy and lossless options. For web use, the lossy mode provides significant file size reductions while maintaining visual quality. Lossless mode preserves perfect image data.

GIF

GIF images are resized from the first frame only. Animated GIFs will lose their animation and become a single static frame after resizing. For animated GIF support, use a dedicated animation tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will image resizing affect image quality?
Resizing with proper interpolation preserves visual quality. For most use cases, the change is unnoticeable unless you're reducing very large images to very small sizes. The size adjustment slider lets you find your preferred balance.
What are good dimensions for my images?
It depends on your use case: social media (1080×1080 for square), web banners (1200×400), thumbnails (300×300), or email headers (600×200). Use the tool to resize proportionally to avoid stretching.
Is my data safe? Do you store my images?
Yes, your data is completely safe. All image processing happens in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your files.
How much can I reduce the file size with resizing?
Smaller dimensions can significantly reduce file sizes, especially for web use. A typical web image at 800×600 sized down to 400×300 often saves 60-75% of file space. The exact savings depend on the original size and compression.
