A preset fills in the fields below; you can still change everything afterwards.
In centimetres or inches, the number of pixels follows from the resolution below (if it was set to 'Do not set', it becomes 300 ppi); the resolution is also written to the file.
Ratio locked: the size you typed last applies, the other follows from each photo itself (nothing is stretched). Unlocked: every photo gets exactly this size. Larger than the original is possible, but becomes a little softer.
The aspect ratio is preserved. With percentage you can shrink as well as enlarge (up to 400% — above 100% the image is upscaled, which can look a little softer). The max. size mode fits the image within the sizes you enter and never makes it larger than the original.
Hard pixels: each new pixel takes the colour of the nearest old one, without blending. When enlarging by a whole number (200%, 300%) every block stays sharp; on photos it gives jagged edges.
This browser cannot create AVIF; choose JPG, PNG or WebP. AVIF: smaller than JPG and WebP at the same quality, and every current browser displays it; older photo programs and upload forms do not support it yet. Creating it takes longer than JPG or WebP. An AVIF stores no resolution and no photo data.
For print or a document: the resolution is stored in the file (PNG and JPG) and determines the size in centimetres; the pixels do not change.
That way a photo library puts the JPG on the day it was taken. Only a fixed list is kept (date, camera, lens and exposure); the location only with the second checkbox. Formats other than JPG get no details.

How to resize an image

  1. Drag one or more images into the box, including HEIC photos from an iPhone.
  2. Choose how to scale: a maximum size, a percentage or an exact size. With Lock aspect ratio, the photo keeps its proportions.
  3. Click Process & download. Several images come together in a zip.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference with compressing?

Resizing makes the image less wide and tall: fewer pixels. Compressing keeps the pixels and makes the file smaller in KB or MB. For an email or a website, both help.

How many pixels do I need?

For a screen or an email, 1600 to 2048 pixels on the longest side is plenty, for social media often 1080. For printing, count on 300 pixels per inch: a 4 × 6 inch photo is then 1200 × 1800 pixels.

Will my photo get blurry?

Making it smaller gives no jagged edges: the pixels are carefully averaged. Enlarging does not make a photo sharper, because no detail is added.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The work happens in your own browser, on your computer or phone: your file is not sent to our server. Only if you then choose to send the result as a download link is it uploaded.

Is it free?

Yes, up to a limit. Without an account you can do 3 operations per category (all PDF tools count together, for example) in a session, and with a free account 10 per category. If you need more, you need a subscription. See the prices.

Can I send the result straight away?

Yes. After the operation you can send the result as a download link, even if it is too large for an email attachment. To do so, sign in or create a free account.
