Tips
Percent or pixels?
Use percent to shrink by a share: 50% halves the width and the height. Use pixels when a website or a form asks for an exact size.
Sizes for the web and email
For a website, 1200–2000 px on the long side is usually enough. For email, 1000–1600 px keeps photos sharp on most screens and much smaller.
Keep the shape
Leave “Keep aspect ratio” on, so the photo is not stretched. For an exact shape, such as a square, crop the photo first with “Crop and rotate”.
Still too big?
Fewer pixels already make the file smaller. If it is still too big for an upload, make it smaller in bytes with “Compress images”.
Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The photo is resized in your browser, on your own device, and is not sent anywhere. The page only downloads the resizer itself the first time you use it.
Will the resized photo lose quality?
A smaller photo has fewer pixels, so the finest detail gets smaller too, but the scaling filter keeps edges sharp. JPEG and WebP are saved at quality 90, PNG without any loss.
Can I make a photo larger?
No. This tool only makes photos smaller, because enlarging cannot add detail that is not in the photo. A size larger than the original is set back to the original size.
What happens to the camera details and location?
They are removed. The new file contains only the image, without EXIF data such as the camera model, date or GPS location. Phone photos stay upright.
Is there a size limit?
Files can be up to 50 MB. Images up to 100 megapixels work on a computer, and up to 16.7 on phones and tablets, because mobile browsers have less memory for images.
Can I resize several photos at once?
This page resizes one photo at a time. For many photos, use “Batch processing”: it resizes all of them with the same settings, and you get all results in one ZIP file.
