What Is Image Resizer?
An image resizer is a tool that changes the pixel dimensions of your images without requiring any software installation. Whether you need to make an image smaller for web upload, resize a photo for social media, or scale up an image for print, this tool handles it all directly in your browser. You can set exact pixel dimensions for width and height, or use percentage-based scaling to proportionally resize your image. The aspect ratio lock ensures your images don't get distorted when you change one dimension. The tool uses the HTML5 Canvas API for high-quality rendering, producing crisp results even at different scales. All processing happens client-side in your browser, meaning your images never leave your device and your privacy is fully protected.

Technical Guide
Image resizing works by drawing the source image onto an HTML5 Canvas element at the desired target dimensions. The browser's built-in interpolation algorithms handle pixel resampling, producing smooth results for both upscaling and downscaling. When resizing by percentage, the tool calculates the target dimensions as a proportion of the original size. The aspect ratio lock links width and height inputs so changing one automatically adjusts the other proportionally. For best quality when downscaling significantly, the browser uses bilinear interpolation. The output is generated as a PNG to preserve quality, though you can combine this with our format converter for other output formats. Maximum supported dimensions depend on the browser's canvas size limits, typically 4096x4096 or larger on modern browsers.
Tips & Best Practices
-
1Enable aspect ratio lock to prevent image distortion when resizing
-
2Use percentage mode for quick proportional scaling (e.g., 50% for half size)
-
3For web use, 72 DPI and 1920px max width is usually sufficient
-
4Combine with our Image Compress tool for even smaller file sizes
