Resize an image to any size

Pick an image or drop it on the page, and it is ready to resize at once. Type the width and height you need, or tap a percentage to scale it down or up in one move. The new size is drawn right away so you can see the result before you save. The whole thing runs on your own device, so the photo is not sent to a server and there is no wait. When the size looks right, download it. You can resize one picture after another without the page reaching out to the network again after it loads.

Most resizing is about meeting a number someone else set. A profile photo wants a square of a certain size, a banner wants a specific width, an upload form rejects anything too large. Type the exact width and height and the image is redrawn to match, with the aspect ratio lock keeping it from stretching. When you only know one side, set that one and let the other follow on its own. The quick percentages are there for the common cases, so halving a photo for email or doubling a small graphic takes a single tap rather than mental arithmetic.

The format you save in decides the trade between size and fidelity. PNG keeps every detail and any transparency, which suits graphics and logos. JPG makes the smallest file for an ordinary photo, at the cost of transparency. WebP sits between the two, smaller than PNG while still holding clear areas. AVIF squeezes the file the most for the same look, though it takes a moment longer to write. You set the output on the way out, so you can resize once and save in whichever format the destination prefers, without starting over.

Resizing and compressing both shrink a file, but they pull different levers. Resizing changes the dimensions: fewer pixels across and down, so the picture is physically smaller and lighter as a result. Compressing keeps the dimensions and trims the data instead, so the photo stays the same size on screen but weighs less. If a form wants a smaller width, resize. If the dimensions are fine but the file is too heavy to attach, compress an image instead. Often the cleanest path is to resize first and then compress the smaller copy.

Making an image larger is not the same as making it more detailed. When you scale up, the tool spreads the existing detail across more pixels and fills the gaps by blending neighbors, so the result stays smooth but no new detail appears. Past roughly double the size that blending starts to show as softness. The don't enlarge if smaller switch exists for exactly this reason, so a small source is left alone rather than stretched. When you genuinely need a small photo to fill a much larger space, an AI upscaler is built for that job, since it invents plausible detail rather than just spreading what is there.

You can resize a JPG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF directly. Other types, like a HEIC photo from an iPhone, are not read here, so convert one of those to a common format first and then resize the result. Whatever you put in, the resize runs on your own device and the picture is not sent to a server. The result downloads straight back to you, and the camera metadata is left out of the saved file. If you would rather change the shape than the size, crop an image is the tool for that. For the full detail on files, read the privacy page.
