How to Resize an Image

Resizing changes width and height. It is the right tool when a site names pixels. It is the wrong tool when the site only names a file size — compress after you have the right canvas.

How to use this page

  1. Choose an image in the resizer workspace.
  2. Use exact pixels for a form, or percentage when you only want half or double the original.
  3. Keep aspect ratio locked unless you intentionally want a different shape, then download the result.

Worked example: 4000 × 3000 down to 1600 × 1200

Enter 1600 for width with lock on; height becomes 1200. That is a clean 4:3 downscale. Entering 1920 × 1080 with lock on cannot keep both numbers unless the source is already 16:9 — use a 16:9 size page instead.

What this job is for

Locked aspect ratio prevents stretching. If you need a new shape without stretch, crop first or use a size page with crop-to-fill / fit.

Useful limits

Enlarging above 100% makes more pixels but not more real detail. For ready-made social canvases, use the social resizer hub.

The live tool behind this page is Image Resizer. It is the same local engine as the rest of Image Cosmos.

Frequently asked questions

Resize or compress first?

Resize to the pixels you need, then compress if a KB limit remains.

Why did height change when I typed a width?

Aspect lock is on. Turn it off only if you want a non-proportional canvas.

Does resizing upload the photo?

No.
