What Is the Image Resizer?
The Image Resizer lets you change the width and height of an image to exact pixel values, percentages, or popular social media presets. A live preview updates as you adjust the settings, so you can confirm the result before downloading.
All resizing happens in your browser. Images are never uploaded, which keeps the tool fast, free, and private.
How to Resize an Image
- Upload or drop an image.
- Choose a social media preset, or enter width and height in pixels.
- Keep Maintain aspect ratio on to avoid distortion, or turn it off for custom stretching.
- Preview the result and download your resized PNG.
Social Media Presets
The built-in presets cover the most commonly recommended dimensions: Instagram square posts (1080x1080), Instagram stories and Reels (1080x1920), YouTube thumbnails (1280x720), Facebook profile and cover sizes, Twitter/X header images, and Pinterest pins. Selecting a preset automatically fills in the exact width and height for you.
Understanding Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio is the relationship between an image's width and height. Changing only one dimension breaks the ratio and distorts the image. With Maintain aspect ratio enabled, the resizer scales both dimensions proportionally, and the Aspect Ratio Calculator is available if you need to work out dimensions for a specific ratio like 16:9 or 4:3.
Tips
- Resize before compressing for the smallest final file size.
- Use 100% zoom in the preview to check sharpness after resizing.
- For print, target at least 300 DPI at the final print size.
- Downscaling improves perceived sharpness — it's a great way to clean up large camera photos.
