Drop your images and pick a size, or a platform's size, to resize them all at once. It all happens in this browser.

Everything happens in this browser, so your images never leave your computer. PNGs are compressed with libimagequant and OxiPNG, JPGs with Google's JPEGli, and every result is scored with SSIMULACRA 2, the quality metric from Cloudinary and JPEG XL.

This free image resizer changes JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and HEIC images to any size, in your browser.

Pick a size in pixels, a percent, or a platform's size like an Instagram post or a YouTube banner. Drop up to 50 images, and they're all resized at once.

Nothing is uploaded, and there's no watermark.

Here's what an image resizer does, the sizes each platform wants, how to fit a picture of another shape, and how it did against CloudConvert.

What is an image resizer?

An image resizer changes how many pixels wide and tall a picture is.

Make it smaller for a website or an upload form, bigger for a print, or the exact shape a platform wants for a post or a banner.

Sizes for each platform

The resizer has these sizes built in. Each one comes from the platform's own help page, which I checked on September 29, 2026:

Instagram keeps any photo 1080 pixels wide, with a shape from 1.91:1 to 4:5. So the 3 post sizes are its widest, squarest and tallest.

YouTube asks for a 3840 x 2160 thumbnail, but phone uploads stop at 2 MB. Add a 2 MB size target for those.

Fill, fit, border or stretch

When your picture's shape doesn't match the size, you choose what happens:

Fill and crop
What it does
Fills the size exactly, and crops the edges from the middle
Best for
Posts, thumbnails, banners
Fit inside
What it does
Keeps the full picture, so 1 side comes out shorter
Best for
Photos for your own site
Add a border
What it does
Keeps the full picture, and fills the rest with a color or transparency
Best for
Products and logos that can't be cropped
Stretch
What it does
Fills the size by stretching the picture
Best for
Only when the shape is nearly right

Leave the width or the height empty and the picture keeps its shape.

Compared with CloudConvert

I resized the same 5 pictures here and with CloudConvert, at its default quality, and both came out at exactly the size I asked for:

The resizer's files were the same size or smaller: the YouTube banner came out 45% smaller, and the 2 PNGs less than half the size.

The PNGs are packed the way the PNG compressor does it, with a score of 90 or more on each.

I then looked at every pair side by side at 100%. The photos look alike, this resizer's a little crisper. On the graphic, white text on a dark card stays bright here, and comes out thinner and grayer in CloudConvert's:

The same graphic resized to half size: this resizer on the left, CloudConvert on the right

That's because this resizer works in linear light, the way light adds up. Bright detail keeps its brightness when pixels are merged, and edges don't get dark halos.

How I tested

I tested on September 29, 2026, with this page's own engines at the High setting, and CloudConvert's API at its default settings, keeping each picture's format.

I didn't score the two against each other, because a score needs a perfect picture at the new size to compare with. There isn't a neutral one, since each resizer's math gives a slightly different "right" answer.

So I compared the sizes, and checked the results by eye.

The score this page shows on each result is different. It compares the saved file with the resized picture before saving, so it tells you how much the compression changed.

Nothing is uploaded

Most online resizers send your file to their server and send back the result. This one works in your browser, so your images never leave your computer.

The new file also leaves out your photo's hidden details, like the camera that took it and where. Only the picture itself is kept, turned the right way up.

Who is the image resizer for?

It's for anyone who needs a picture at an exact size:

It works in your browser, so your photos never leave your computer.

Image Resizer FAQs

Questions about the image resizer? Here's what to know.

An image resizer changes how many pixels wide and tall a picture is.

This one resizes to any size, a percent or a platform's size, in your browser.

Phone uploads stop at 2 MB, so add a 2 MB size target for those.
