Get the exact dimensions you need

Every platform wants a different size: a 1080 × 1080 Instagram post, a 1280 × 720 YouTube thumbnail, a 2 × 2 inch US passport photo. This resizer gets you there in a few clicks without distorting the picture.

Type the pixels yourself with the aspect ratio locked, scale everything by a percentage, or choose a preset. For presets you decide how the photo fits the new shape: crop to fill, fit inside with a border, or stretch. Large reductions are done in several smooth steps, so small versions stay sharp instead of jagged.

How to resize an image

  1. 1

    Open your image

    Choose a JPG, PNG, WebP or other image, drag it in, or paste it with Ctrl + V.

  2. 2

    Choose how to size it

    Pixels for exact values, Percentage to scale evenly, or Social & print sizes for presets.

  3. 3

    Check the fit

    With presets, pick Crop to fill, Fit inside or Stretch depending on whether you can lose the edges.

  4. 4

    Resize and download

    The new image keeps the original format and is ready to save.

Key features

  • Aspect-ratio lock

    Change the width and the height follows automatically — no squashed faces.

  • Ready-made sizes

    Instagram post, portrait and story, YouTube thumbnail, Facebook cover, X header, LinkedIn banner, profile picture, Full HD and passport photos.

  • High-quality scaling

    Step-by-step downscaling avoids the aliasing you get from a single big resize.

  • Keeps your format

    JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG with its transparency.

  • Runs locally

    Your photo never leaves your device.

Common uses

  • Application forms: Produce the exact pixel size a portal demands, then compress it to the KB limit.
  • Social media: Post images at the size each network displays, so they aren't cropped or blurred.
  • Websites and blogs: Serve images no larger than they appear on screen for faster pages.

Tips and good to know

  • Making an image larger than its original can't add detail — it will look softer. Resize down whenever possible.
  • Forms often have a file-size limit too. After resizing, use the Image Compressor with a KB target.
  • Need to choose exactly which part stays in the frame? Crop first with the Image Cropper.
  • Centimetres to pixels: multiply by 118 for a 300 DPI print (so 3.5 cm ≈ 413 px).

Frequently asked questions

How do I resize a photo without stretching it?

Keep the lock icon on in Pixels mode, or use Percentage. With presets, choose Crop to fill or Fit inside — only Stretch changes the proportions.

What size is a passport photo in pixels?

For a 3.5 × 4.5 cm photo at 300 DPI it's about 413 × 531 px; for a 2 × 2 inch photo it's 600 × 600 px. Both are available as presets.

Does resizing reduce the file size?

Yes — fewer pixels means a smaller file. For a specific size in KB, follow up with the Image Compressor.

Will my PNG keep its transparent background?

Yes. The output keeps the original format, and PNG transparency is preserved.

Is there a limit on image size?

No fixed limit. Very large images (over about 50 megapixels) depend on your device's memory.
