Resize an image

Set a width, an exact size or a percentage, then drop your photos. Batch resizing, no sign-up, nothing uploaded.

Settings apply to the next images you add. Enlarging is allowed but can’t add detail.

How to resize an image

  1. Pick a quick size, or choose how to resize: by width, to an exact width and height, or by percentage.
  2. Drop your images on the box or tap “Choose images”. Each one is resized with the current settings.
  3. Check the new size in pixels and download, one at a time or as a ZIP.

Three ways to set the size

  • Width (keep proportions): the height follows automatically, so nothing is squashed. Best for websites, email and documents.
  • Exact width and height: for places that need a fixed frame, such as a 1080 × 1080 post or a 400 × 400 profile picture. “Crop to fill” trims the edges evenly; “Fit inside” keeps the whole picture and makes it smaller than the frame in one direction.
  • Percentage: 50% halves the width and the height, which leaves a quarter of the pixels.

Resizing versus compressing

Resizing reduces the number of pixels; compressing stores the same pixels in fewer bytes. A phone photo is often 4000 pixels wide, far more than a screen shows, so resizing it to 1600 px saves a lot of space with no visible loss. When a form asks for a file size rather than dimensions, use the image compressor or reduce image size in KB instead. More in resize vs compress.

Formats and quality

By default the resized image keeps its format: JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG and WebP stays WebP. GIFs are saved as PNG (first frame only), because browsers can’t write GIF files. iPhone HEIC photos need converting first with our HEIC to JPG converter. For JPG and WebP, 90% quality is a good default.

Private by design

Everything happens in your browser, so the tool works with personal photos and documents without sending them anywhere. The resized copy contains no location or camera data. If you want to share the result, upload it to get a link.

Questions and answers

How do I resize an image without losing quality?

Make it smaller, not bigger, and keep the quality setting at 90% or above. Shrinking an image throws away pixels you won’t miss at the new size; this tool reduces in halving steps so edges stay clean. Enlarging can’t add detail, so a small image made big will look soft.

How do I resize to an exact size like 1080×1080?

Choose “Exact width and height”, enter both numbers (or tap a preset) and keep “Crop to fill the exact size”. The image is scaled until it covers the frame and the edges are trimmed equally, so nothing is stretched.

What is the difference between resizing and compressing?

Resizing changes the number of pixels, the width and height. Compressing keeps the pixels but stores them in fewer bytes. Resizing usually saves more space; to hit a file size in KB, use the compressor’s target size instead.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Resizing happens in your browser on your own device. Your images are not sent to our servers, and the original files are not changed.

Can I resize several images at once?

Yes, up to 30 at a time, all with the same settings. Download them one by one or together as a ZIP. Each file name gets the new size added, for example photo-1080x1080.jpg.

Does resizing remove location data?

Yes. The resized copy is a new image file that contains only the picture, so GPS location, camera model and date taken from the original are not included.
