How to Resize an Image
Select Image
Choose a supported JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP image from your device.
Choose Resize Mode
Select "Resize by Pixels" to enter custom dimensions or "Resize by Percentage" to scale the image proportionally.
Set New Dimensions
In pixel mode, enter the required width and height. Keep "Lock Aspect Ratio (Proportional)" enabled when you want the other dimension to update automatically based on the original image proportions.
Review the New Size
Check the original and resulting dimensions before processing. If you are using percentage mode, choose a scale between 10% and 150%.
Process and Download
Process the image using the available action button, then download the resized image when processing is complete.
Resize by Pixels or Percentage
Resize Image provides two ways to change image dimensions.
"Resize by Pixels" lets you enter the target width and height in pixels. When "Lock Aspect Ratio (Proportional)" is enabled, changing one dimension automatically recalculates the other using the original image proportions.
When the aspect-ratio lock is disabled, width and height can be changed independently. This can alter the proportions of the image and may cause the result to appear stretched or compressed.
"Resize by Percentage" scales both dimensions proportionally from the original image size. The current percentage control supports values from 10% to 150%.
Maintain or Change Image Proportions
"Lock Aspect Ratio (Proportional)" is enabled by default in pixel mode.
When the lock is enabled, changing the width recalculates the height proportionally, and changing the height recalculates the width proportionally.
This helps maintain the original width-to-height relationship of the image.
If you disable the aspect-ratio lock, you can set width and height independently. Use this option carefully because dimensions with a different ratio from the source image can change the visible proportions of the result.
Understand Upscaling and Downscaling
Reducing image dimensions creates fewer output pixels and can be useful when you need a smaller resolution for websites, forms, uploads, or other size-limited workflows.
Increasing image dimensions creates a larger pixel grid from the existing source image. The browser must interpolate image data when generating those additional pixels, so enlarging an image does not create new source detail and may make the result appear softer.
Percentage mode supports scaling from 10% to 150% of the original dimensions.
Review the resulting image whenever sharpness or exact dimensions are important.
Resize Image vs. Compress Image
Resize Image is designed primarily for changing image width and height.
Compress Image is designed primarily for reducing image file size using encoding-quality controls or a target maximum file size.
Resizing can also affect file size because the output image is re-encoded and may contain a different number of pixels, but file-size reduction is not the same as selecting a specific compression quality or target file size.
Use Resize Image when dimensions are your main requirement. Use Compress Image when file size or encoding compression is your main requirement.
What Happens When an Image Is Resized
The selected image is decoded in the browser, drawn at the requested dimensions using browser canvas processing, and encoded into the generated output image.
The current Resize Image tool does not provide an output-format selector. The resize workflow uses the selected image's supported MIME format when creating the output.
Because canvas processing re-encodes the rendered image, source metadata and color-profile information should not be assumed to remain identical to the original file.
Transparency behavior can also depend on the source format, output encoding, and browser implementation.
If metadata, transparency, color behavior, or exact visual reproduction is important for your workflow, review the downloaded image before using or submitting it.
Resize Image vs. Batch Image Resize
Resize Image is designed for resizing one image at a time using custom pixel dimensions or percentage scaling.
Batch Image Resize is intended for workflows where multiple images need to be resized in one session.
Use the workflow that matches the number of images you need to process.
Browser-Side Image Processing
Image resizing operations run locally within your browser.

Performance When Resizing Images
Resize performance can depend on the source image file size, pixel dimensions, requested output dimensions, available browser memory, browser implementation, and device resources. Large or high-resolution images can require additional memory during image decoding, canvas rendering, and output encoding. Upscaling to larger dimensions can also increase the memory required for the output canvas. Performance may vary between devices and browsers, especially when processing very large images.
Check Your Resized Image Before Submission
If you are resizing an image for an application, examination, educational institution, employer, government portal, or another important submission, check the latest requirements from the relevant official source. Before submitting, verify the actual image format, pixel dimensions, file size, orientation, readability, and any other applicable requirements. EditPDFImage.com cannot guarantee acceptance by a third-party portal or organization.
Frequently Asked Questions — Resize Image
Common Questions About Resizing Images
What does the Resize Image tool do?
Resize Image lets you change the pixel dimensions of a JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP image. You can enter a custom width and height or resize the image proportionally using a percentage.
Can I resize an image by width and height in pixels?
Yes. In "Resize by Pixels" mode, you can enter the target width and height in pixels. When "Lock Aspect Ratio (Proportional)" is enabled, changing one dimension automatically recalculates the other based on the original image proportions.
Can I resize an image by percentage?
Yes. "Resize by Percentage" mode scales the image proportionally from its original dimensions. The current percentage control supports values from 10% to 150%.
What does Lock Aspect Ratio do?
"Lock Aspect Ratio (Proportional)" keeps the original width-to-height relationship when you change the image dimensions in pixel mode. When it is enabled, changing the width recalculates the height proportionally, and changing the height recalculates the width proportionally.
Can I make an image larger with Resize Image?
Yes. You can enter dimensions larger than the original image, and percentage mode supports scaling up to 150%. Enlarging an image requires interpolation of the existing pixel data, so it does not create new source detail and the result may appear softer.
What is the difference between Resize Image and Compress Image?
Resize Image is primarily for changing image width and height. Compress Image is primarily for reducing file size using encoding-quality controls or a target maximum file size. Resizing can also change file size, but the two tools are designed for different primary tasks.
Does Resize Image use WebAssembly?
No. The current Resize Image implementation uses browser-native image loading, HTML5 Canvas, and client-side JavaScript for supported resizing operations. It does not use WebAssembly for the resizing pipeline.
Does resizing preserve image metadata?
The image is rendered through browser canvas processing and re-encoded when the resized output is created. Source metadata and color-profile information should therefore not be assumed to remain identical to the original file. Review the downloaded image if preserving specific metadata or color behavior is important.
Do I need an account to resize images?
No. You can use the Resize Image tool without creating an account or signing in.
Are my images uploaded to EditPDFImage.com while I resize them?
Image resizing operations run locally within your browser. Files processed within your browser are not intentionally uploaded to EditPDFImage.com servers.
