How to resize a picture
- Choose one or more pictures, or drag them onto the box.
- Type the new width or height in pixels. With "Keep the shape" ticked, the other side changes to match, so nothing looks squashed. Or choose "Percentage" to scale by, say, 50%.
- Pick the file type if you want a different one, and the quality for JPG or WebP.
- Press "Resize" and download your picture, or all of them in one ZIP file.
How the new size is worked out
A picture's shape is its width divided by its height. To keep that shape, both sides are multiplied by the same number:
Sides are rounded to whole pixels. If you untick "Keep the shape", the picture is stretched or squeezed to exactly the size you type.
Worked example
A phone photo is 4,032 × 3,024 pixels, too big for many website and email uploads.
Frequently asked questions
Will resizing make my picture blurry?
Making a picture smaller keeps it sharp: we shrink it in halving steps, which gives smoother edges than one big jump. Making a picture bigger can't add detail that isn't there, so enlarged pictures look softer. Start from the largest original you have.
Can I resize several pictures at once?
Yes. Choose them all together. With a width and height typed and "Keep the shape" ticked, each picture is made as large as fits inside that box, so tall and wide pictures both keep their shape. You can download them all in one ZIP file.
What happens to the photo's hidden details, like location?
The new picture is drawn fresh by your browser, so it doesn't copy over hidden details (called EXIF data) such as the camera model, the date or GPS location. The picture is turned the right way up first, so it won't come out sideways.
Which file type should I choose?
JPG is best for photos and makes small files. PNG keeps sharp edges and see-through areas, so it suits logos, screenshots and graphics. WebP can do both and makes smaller files, and most modern browsers and websites accept it, but some older apps don't. JPG can't be see-through, so transparent areas become white.
Are my pictures uploaded?
No. Your browser does all the work on your own device, so this tool works even with your internet switched off once the page has loaded. We never see your pictures.
