- Type a new width or height. With Keep aspect ratio on, the other side follows. Or tap a quick scale like 50%.
- Press Download.
Tips
- For screens, an image of 1000 to 2000 pixels on the longest side is usually plenty. Photos for large prints need more.
- Keep Keep aspect ratio on, unless a form asks for an exact width and height and you accept that the picture will stretch.
- Make images smaller, not bigger. Enlarging cannot add detail, so the result looks soft.
- If the file is still too big after resizing, finish with Compress Image.

Good to know
Resizing changes the number of pixels, so it changes how big the picture looks and how big the file is. Smaller dimensions usually give a smaller file.
- Limits: up to 50 MB per image, up to 30 images at once, and up to 8000 pixels on either side of the result.
- When you choose several images, the same settings are applied to each one. With Keep aspect ratio on, every image gets the same width and keeps its own proportions.
- Making a picture bigger only stretches the pixels it already has. If you need a sharper enlargement, try Enhance Photo.
Common questions
Will resizing reduce the file size?
Usually yes, because fewer pixels means less data. For the smallest file, also use Compress Image.
Why does my enlarged image look blurry?
Making an image bigger than the original can't add detail, so it can look soft. Resize down whenever you can.
What is the maximum size?
8000 pixels on each side.
What size should I choose for email or a website?
For something that is only viewed on a screen, 1000 to 1500 pixels on the longest side is a good starting point. It looks sharp and keeps the file small.
Does resizing change the shape of my picture?
Not when Keep aspect ratio is on. The width and height change together, so nothing is squashed or stretched.
