All processing happens securely in your browser - your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.

Why Use Our Image Resizer?

Resizing images manually can be tedious. Our tool simplifies the process with several advantages:

Supported Resize Methods

Percentage Scaling

Reduce or enlarge your image by a specific percentage. Great for quick proportional adjustments (e.g., make an image 50% smaller).

  • Scale images proportionally
  • Maintains original aspect ratio automatically
  • Easy percentage-based control (1% to 500%)

Max Dimension (Pixels)

Set a maximum pixel value for either the width or height. The image will be resized so its longest side matches this value, while maintaining aspect ratio. Useful for fitting images within specific layout constraints (e.g., ensure no image is wider than 800px).

  • Set maximum width or height
  • Automatically maintains proportions
  • Great for standardizing image sizes
  • Can be used to upscale or downscale

Custom Dimensions (W x H)

Specify the exact width and height in pixels for your resized image. You can choose to maintain the original aspect ratio or set custom dimensions independently.

  • Set exact width and height
  • Option to maintain or ignore aspect ratio
  • Perfect for specific requirements (e.g., a 300x250 banner)
  • Full control over output size

    • Pixels (PX): Click the "PX" button. Enter the maximum dimension for the longest side.
    • Custom (W x H): Click the "W x H" button. Enter your desired width and height. Check/uncheck the "link" icon to maintain/ignore aspect ratio.
  4. Observe Preview: The image in the drop area will update to reflect the new dimensions. The dimensions overlay will show original and new sizes.
  5. Download: Click the download icon ( download ) to save the resized image.
  6. Clear (Optional): Click the clear icon ( cancel ) to remove the current image and start over.

Common Resizing Use Cases

Quality Considerations When Resizing

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What image formats can I resize?

You can resize JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF images.

Is there a limit to the image file size I can upload?

While there's no strict limit, very large files (e.g., over 20-30MB) might be slow to process in the browser. For best performance, try to use reasonably sized source images.

Will resizing an image reduce its quality?

Making an image smaller (downscaling) generally maintains quality well. Making an image significantly larger (upscaling) can lead to some loss of sharpness or pixelation. The tool aims to provide the best possible quality for the chosen dimensions.

How do I maintain the aspect ratio?

The "Percentage" and "Pixels" modes always maintain aspect ratio. In "Custom W x H" mode, the aspect ratio is maintained by default (link icon is active). You can click the link icon to "unlink" and set width and height independently, which may distort the image.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All image processing and resizing happen directly in your web browser. Your images never leave your computer, ensuring your privacy.

Can I resize multiple images at once (batch processing)?

Currently, this tool is designed for resizing one image at a time to provide an interactive preview. For batch processing, you might need to use a different tool or desktop software.

Why does the "New" dimension in the overlay sometimes not exactly match my input in "Pixels" mode?

In "Pixels" (Max Dimension) mode, the tool sets the LONGEST side of your image to your input value, and then calculates the OTHER side to maintain the aspect ratio. So, if you have a 1000x500 image and input 800px, the new dimensions will be 800x400px. If you input 400px, the new dimensions will be 400x200px. The overlay shows the actual resulting width and height.

Can I use this tool on my mobile device?

Yes, the Image Resizer is designed to be responsive and should work on most modern mobile browsers.
