How do I resize an image?
Choose or drag in your images, then pick a preset, or type a width and height in pixels, or a percentage. Press Resize images and download the result. With Keep the proportions ticked, typing a width fills in the matching height automatically, so nothing gets squashed.
Will resizing stretch my picture?
Not by default. With Keep the proportions ticked, typing a width gives the matching height automatically. If you give both numbers, the picture is fitted inside that box without distortion. Untick the option only if you genuinely want to stretch the image to an exact shape.
What does a preset do when my photo is a different shape?
You choose. Fill the size crops the edges so the picture covers the whole preset, Fit inside shows the whole picture and leaves empty bars around it, and Stretch squeezes it to the exact size. Fill usually looks best for profile pictures and thumbnails. Preview before downloading.
What size should a passport photo be?
Indian passport and many visa photos use 35 x 45 mm, which is 413 x 531 pixels at 300 dpi. The 2 x 2 inch format used by some countries is 600 x 600 pixels. Requirements differ between offices and change over time, so always check the exact rules before submitting.
Does making an image bigger improve it?
No. Enlarging only stretches the existing pixels, so the picture looks soft or blurry, and no detail is added. Resize down whenever you can and keep your original file. If you need a bigger image, start from a higher-resolution original instead. Upscaling never recovers lost detail.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your photos stay on your device. That's important for passport photos, ID cards and signatures, which are often what people resize. After the page loads, resizing even works without an internet connection. Nothing is stored, and there's no account that could hold a copy.
What size is a WhatsApp profile picture?
WhatsApp displays profile pictures as a circle cropped from a square, so a square image of around 500 x 500 pixels works well. Keep the important part in the centre so it isn't cut off by the circle. The WhatsApp preset handles the square shape for you.
What size is an Instagram post?
A square post works at 1080 x 1080 pixels, and portrait posts at 1080 x 1350 pixels show larger in the feed. Use the Instagram presets to get these sizes. Choose Fill the size if your photo is a different shape, so there are no empty bars at the edges.
What size is a YouTube thumbnail?
1280 x 720 pixels, a 16:9 shape, is the standard YouTube thumbnail size. Use the YouTube preset, then compress the result if it's over the platform's file size limit. Thumbnails are viewed small, so bold, simple images work better than detailed ones. Keep text large and readable.
Can I resize several images at once?
Yes. Add several images and they're resized with the same settings, then download them together. That's useful for product photos that all need the same size for an online store, or a set of pictures for a website gallery. Every file gets the same treatment, so a catalogue looks consistent.
How do I resize a signature for an exam form?
Crop the signature tightly with Crop image, resize it to the pixel size the form asks for, often something like 140 x 60 pixels, then compress it to the required file size. Check the official notification for exact dimensions, because each exam sets its own rules.
Does resizing reduce file size?
Making an image smaller in pixels usually reduces the file size a lot, because there are fewer pixels to store. For an even smaller file, compress it afterwards. Resizing first, then compressing, gives the best quality for a given file size. Check the final size against any upload limit.
What is the difference between resize and crop?
Resizing changes the dimensions of the whole picture, scaling everything up or down. Cropping cuts away part of the picture and keeps the rest at its original detail. For passport photos you often crop first to frame the face, then resize to the exact pixels.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers. Choose photos from your gallery, pick a preset or type the size, and download. It's handy when a portal rejects a photo from your phone camera because its dimensions or file size are too large. No app or account is needed to do it.
Is it free?
Yes. Resizing images is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. It's part of a set of free image tools from Marketiism that run in your browser, so your pictures never leave your device while you work on them. Business use is fine.
