Frequently Asked Questions

Can I resize without losing aspect ratio?

Yes. Enable the "Lock Aspect Ratio" option and the tool will automatically calculate the proportional height or width.

Does resizing an image reduce its quality?

Downsizing (making an image smaller) generally retains high quality and sharpness. Upsizing (making an image larger) can cause pixelation and blurriness because the browser has to invent new pixels.

What is aspect ratio?

Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between an image\'s width and height (e.g., 16:9 or 4:3). Locking it prevents your image from looking stretched or squished.

Are my images uploaded to your servers?

No. Our Image Resizer uses the HTML5 Canvas API to process your images entirely within your web browser. Your photos never leave your computer.

What image formats do you support?

You can upload and resize JPG, PNG, WebP, and BMP images. The output file will maintain the original format.

How do I resize an image by percentage?

Toggle the input mode from "Pixels" to "Percentage". Entering 50% will reduce the image to exactly half its original width and height.

Why is my resized PNG file larger than the original?

Browsers use different compression algorithms when exporting Canvas data. If you need a smaller file size, run the resized image through our Image Compressor.

Can I resize images for Instagram or Facebook?

Yes! You can manually enter the recommended dimensions. For example, Instagram squares are typically 1080x1080 pixels, while Facebook covers are 820x312 pixels.

What is the maximum file size I can upload?

Because processing happens locally in your browser, there is no hard file size limit. However, extremely large images (over 50MB) may slow down or crash older browsers.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! Our Image Resizer is 100% free, requires no account, and adds absolutely no watermarks to your finished images.
