What is Image Resizer?

This image resizer scales a picture to the width and height you specify, locking the original aspect ratio by default so nothing gets distorted, and offering presets for common widths. Scaling uses high-quality interpolation and runs entirely in the browser, so the image is never uploaded.

How to use Image Resizer

  1. 1Choose an image — the width and height fields are filled in with its original dimensions.
  2. 2Edit either the width or the height; with the aspect ratio locked, the other value follows automatically.
  3. 3Or just click one of the common width presets.
  4. 4Download the PNG result, and run it through the compressor afterwards if you need a smaller file.

Frequently asked questions

Will upscaling an image make it sharper?+

No. Scaling only interpolates new pixels from the ones that already exist; it cannot invent detail that was never captured, so enlarging always looks softer. The only ways to get a sharp larger image are to obtain a higher-resolution original or to use a model-based super-resolution tool.

Why does the resizer output PNG?+

So that resizing does not introduce lossy compression on top of the scaling — the result differs from the original in size only. If you want a smaller file, hand the output to the image compressor and convert it to WebP there, keeping both steps under your control.
