Quality Preservation: Our resizing algorithm uses high-quality interpolation (bicubic/Lanczos) to maintain sharpness and clarity. Enlarging images beyond their original size will reduce quality—for best results, resize to smaller or equal dimensions.
All processing happens in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring privacy for personal and sensitive photos.

Frequently asked questions
Will resizing reduce image quality?
Reducing size maintains quality well—we use high-quality resampling algorithms. Enlarging beyond original size will reduce quality since we're creating pixels that didn't exist. For best quality, resize to smaller or same dimensions.
What's the maximum image size I can resize?
There's no strict limit, but very large images (50+ megapixels) may cause browser slowdowns. Most standard photos and graphics process quickly and smoothly.
What does "Lock Aspect Ratio" mean?
When locked, changing one dimension automatically adjusts the other to maintain the original proportions. This prevents distortion. Unlock it only when you specifically want to stretch or squash the image.
How do I resize for social media?
Use preset sizes or enter recommended dimensions: Instagram square (1080x1080), Facebook post (1200x630), Twitter post (1600x900), LinkedIn post (1200x627). Each platform has optimal sizes for best display.
Can I resize GIFs and keep the animation?
Our tool primarily handles static images. Animated GIF resizing requires processing each frame, which is more complex. For animated GIFs, consider specialized tools that maintain the animation.
