What is an Image Resizer?

An image resizer changes the pixel dimensions of an image — making it wider, taller, smaller, or larger — and downloads the result. This is one of the most common image editing tasks: resizing photos for social media profile pictures, blog post thumbnails, email attachments, or specific platform requirements. Resizing reduces file size when going smaller, and lets you create images at exact required dimensions.

Every platform has different image size requirements. Facebook cover photos need 820×312 px; Twitter profile pictures need 400×400 px; LinkedIn banner images need 1584×396 px. Rather than installing Photoshop or GIMP for a simple resize, our free browser-based tool lets you enter exact pixel dimensions, choose to keep or break the aspect ratio, and download the result in PNG, JPG, or WebP format instantly.

How to Use the Image Resizer

  1. Drop your image or click Choose Image to upload.
  2. The original dimensions are automatically filled into the Width and Height fields.
  3. Enter your desired Width or Height in pixels. With Keep aspect ratio checked, the other dimension calculates automatically.
  4. Choose the output format (PNG, JPG, or WebP), then click Resize & Download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Enlarging an image always reduces quality to some degree — the browser must invent pixels that were not in the original. Simple canvas scaling (used by this tool) produces acceptable results for moderate enlargements (up to 2×). For large upscaling with high quality, AI-based upscaling tools use machine learning to generate realistic detail.

It depends on usage. For full-width hero images, 1920px wide is standard. For blog post content images, 800–1200px wide is typically sufficient. For thumbnails and cards, 400–600px. Always match the image to the display size — serving a 4000px image in a 600px container wastes bandwidth and hurts performance.

Resizing changes the pixel dimensions of the whole image — it either scales it up or down, potentially changing its aspect ratio. Cropping removes parts of the image to change its aspect ratio without distorting the remaining content. This tool resizes; for cropping you would need an image editor like Photoshop or a free alternative like Canva.

You can upload any image format your browser supports — this includes JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame only), BMP, and SVG rasterised to the canvas. You can then download the resized result as PNG, JPG, or WebP regardless of the original format.
