How it works

  1. Open your image in the File tab.
  2. Type a width or height: with the lock on, the other side follows.
  3. Or use the 25 / 50 / 75% shortcuts, or go back to the original.
  4. Pick a format and quality if you like, then download. Resize and convert happen in one step.

To cut file size, this beats compression

An image's weight depends mostly on how many pixels it has. Halving both width and height leaves a quarter of the pixels — a huge saving, and if the image will be displayed at that size anyway, you lose nothing useful. If a photo is too heavy, start here before forcing compression.

Enlarging doesn't improve an image

Worth saying plainly: enlarging adds no detail. Interpolation stretches the pixels that already exist; it cannot invent the ones the photo never captured. The result looks softer or blocky. No resizing tool does magic here, so when you set a size above the original we'll tell you rather than let you believe otherwise.

The aspect-ratio lock

It keeps width and height in proportion so the image isn't distorted, and it's on by default because that's what you want almost always. Unlock it to set both sides freely — useful when you need an exact measurement and don't mind stretching.

FAQ

Can I enlarge without losing quality?

No. Enlarging stretches existing pixels; it can't add detail the file doesn't have.

What is the aspect-ratio lock?

It keeps width/height in proportion: change one side and the other follows, so nothing distorts.

Does resizing make the file smaller?

Yes, usually the most effective way: half the width and height leaves a quarter of the pixels.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No: it runs in your browser and the image never leaves your machine.
