How to use it
- Choose one or more photos, or drop them on the box.
- Pick how to resize: by longest side, width, height, percentage, or an exact width and height.
- Type the size. With an exact size, the tool crops the middle of the photo to the new shape instead of stretching it.
- Choose the format to save in, then press Resize.
- Each result is opened again to check its size is exactly what you asked for before you can download it.
The five ways to resize
- Longest side sets the larger of the two dimensions and scales the other to match. A portrait and a landscape photo both end up no bigger than the number you type.
- Width or height fixes one side and lets the other follow, for slots that only care about one dimension, such as a blog column.
- Percentage scales both sides by the same amount: 50 percent gives a photo half as wide and half as tall, with a quarter of the pixels.
- Exact width and height makes the photo precisely that size. When the shape differs from the original, the tool keeps the center and trims the edges. That’s what profile pictures, banners and ID uploads usually expect.
Why it stays sharp
Shrinking a large photo in one big jump can lose fine detail or leave a shimmer on patterns like fabric and brickwork. The tool reduces large photos in halving steps, smoothing at each one, before the final resize. That’s slower by a fraction of a second and noticeably cleaner.
JPEG and WebP results are saved at 90 percent quality, which is visually close to the original at a sensible size. PNG is saved without loss. If you also need to hit a file size, use the compressor on the resized photo.
Private by design
Resizing happens in your browser, using the same drawing features that display web pages. Your photos aren’t uploaded. The only thing the page sends is a cookie-free visit count (which page, the site you came from, your browser type and how fast the page loaded), and its security policy blocks every other connection.
Questions
Will resizing stretch or squash my photo?
No. Width, height, longest side and percentage keep the photo's shape. An exact width and height crops the center of the photo to fit the new shape, so nothing is distorted.
Which option should I use for several photos at once?
Longest side. It gives every photo the same maximum size whether it's portrait or landscape, which is what most websites and email limits care about.
Can I make a small photo bigger?
Yes, if you tick the option to allow it. Enlarging can't add detail the photo never had, so the result may look soft. It's useful when a form demands minimum dimensions.
Does resizing remove the photo's location?
Yes. The resized copy is drawn fresh from the picture and carries no location, camera details or dates. Your original file is unchanged.
What's the largest size it can make?
Up to 8,000 pixels on a side and about 16 million pixels in total. That's a limit phones put on in-page drawing, and it's larger than most uses need.
