Resize images without opening a design tool

Drop up to 20 images and resize by pixels, percentage, or a specific longest edge. Aspect ratio preserved by default; Lanczos filtering for the sharpest downscales.

Resizing is the single most common image operation — for social media specs, email attachments, upload size limits, or Retina-vs-1× asset generation. This tool resizes any raster image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, BMP, TIFF) to exact pixel dimensions, a percentage of the source, or a target longest edge. Aspect ratio is preserved by default; toggle to allow distortion. Downscale uses Lanczos filtering for the sharpest possible result.

Three ways to specify size

Exact pixels: set width and/or height in pixels — the other dimension is derived to preserve aspect. Percentage: 50% halves both dimensions (making the image ¼ the pixel count). Longest edge: set a max size for the longer of width/height — useful when images come in mixed orientations and you want a consistent upper bound.

Resampling filter

Lanczos (default) is the sharpest downscale for photographic content but adds mild ringing on hard edges. Bicubic is smoother and better for illustrations. Nearest-neighbor preserves pixel art and screenshots exactly. Toggle in the advanced panel.

Format preservation

By default the output format matches the source (JPEG in → JPEG out, PNG in → PNG out). Toggle to force a specific output format — useful if you want to standardize a batch. Quality slider available for lossy targets.

Tool FAQs

Everything you need to know about using Image Resizer.

Will upsizing improve quality?+

No — upscaling can only interpolate existing pixels. For genuine detail recovery, you need AI super-resolution (a separate tool). Standard upscaling is best used to hit a target size for uploading, not to improve visible quality.

Can I resize to different sizes per file?+

Not in a single batch — all files use the same size setting. Run separate batches or use the Bulk Image Converter which supports per-file overrides.

Does the resize preserve metadata?+

By default, no — EXIF and metadata are stripped for privacy. Toggle Preserve metadata to keep camera info, GPS, and orientation.
