Resize or crop an image
Set a maximum width and height, then either fit the whole image inside that box or crop it to fill the box from the centre. Images are never stretched and never enlarged.

Questions about Resize or crop image
- Why will the tool not enlarge my small image?
- Enlarging invents pixels that were never recorded, which makes the picture look soft without adding detail. If your image is already smaller than the box you entered, it keeps its own size and the result reports the measured dimensions.
- What is the difference between fit and crop?
- Fit scales the image down until the whole picture is inside your box, so one dimension may end up smaller than you asked for. Crop scales until the box is completely covered and then cuts the overflow away from the centre, so you get exactly the dimensions you asked for but lose the edges.
- Is the aspect ratio kept?
- Always. Neither mode stretches the picture, because a stretched photo is a defect rather than a resize option.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. This tool runs inside your browser tab, so the file bytes are read and written on your own device and are never sent to us for processing. Closing the tab discards everything, which is also why results cannot be restored after a reload.
- How much does it cost?
- The tools on this page are free to use, with up to 3 files per job. Paid plans for larger batches are described on the pricing page but are not on sale yet.
