Resize and compress together

Resizing is the quickest way to shrink a big photo: halving the width and height cuts the pixel count to a quarter. Combine it with the Compress tab to get a file that fits a strict size limit.

When to use it

Use it when a profile picture, banner, ad or marketplace listing needs an exact size in pixels, or when a photo from a phone is far larger than the screen it will be shown on.

Tips for better results

  • Check the required width and height first, and whether the site asks for an exact ratio.
  • Keep the same proportions as the original unless you want to stretch the picture on purpose. Stretching distorts faces and logos.
  • Make a picture smaller, not larger. Enlarging adds pixels but not detail, so it looks soft.
  • Resize first, then compress. Doing it in that order gives the smallest file.

Questions

Yes. Changing one side adjusts the other so the picture is not stretched.

Does resizing reduce the file size?

Usually, yes, because fewer pixels need to be stored.

Is the image uploaded?

No. The work is done in your browser.
