🔧 Image Resizer & Cropper

How to Resize an Image

1. Choose one or more image files — you can select several at once.
2. Pick a preset for a common social or document size, or type your own width and height.
3. Choose what happens when the shape doesn't match: crop to fill, fit and pad, or stretch.
4. Select an output format and quality level.
5. Click Resize & Download — each image is saved to your downloads folder.

What is the difference between crop, fit and stretch?

Crop to fill scales the image until it covers the target size and trims the overflow, so nothing is distorted but the edges may be cut — this is what social platforms do. Fit inside scales until the whole image is visible and pads the remaining space, keeping everything in frame at the cost of empty bars. Stretch forces the image into the exact dimensions regardless of shape, which distorts faces and text and is almost never what you want.

Which format should I choose?

JPEG for photographs, where its lossy compression produces much smaller files with no visible difference at 85-90% quality. PNG when you need transparency or are working with screenshots, logos and flat graphics with sharp edges. WebP is a good default for the web now that every major browser supports it — it typically produces files 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPEGs, though some older desktop software still cannot open it.

Why does my resized image look blurry?

Almost always because it was enlarged. Scaling an image up cannot invent detail that was never captured, so the browser interpolates between existing pixels and the result looks soft. Always start from the largest original you have. If you must enlarge, keep it under about 150% of the original size and expect some softness — beyond that you need a dedicated upscaling tool.

What size should a passport photo be?

The two most common standards are 35 x 45 mm, used across the UK, EU, India and much of the world, and 2 x 2 inches, used by the United States. Both presets here are set at 300 DPI, which is the resolution most photo printers and government upload portals expect. Requirements about head position, background colour and expression are separate from the pixel size, so check your country's specification before submitting.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Resizing happens in your browser using the HTML canvas, and the finished files are written directly to your device. Nothing is sent to a server, which means personal photos, ID documents and client work stay private and the tool keeps working without an internet connection once the page has loaded.
