The options, explained
- Fit
- Fits inside the size you set, keeping its shape. Nothing is cut off.
- Crop to fit
- Fills the exact size and trims the edges. Best for profile pictures and banners.
- Pad
- Exact size, with a Padding color filling the empty space.
- Stretch
- Exact size, ignoring the shape. Can distort the image.
Tips
- Need a size for Instagram, YouTube, or LinkedIn? The Resize image page has ready made presets.
- Making an image smaller in pixels also makes the file much smaller.
Questions
- Will resizing make my photo blurry?
- Making it smaller stays sharp. Making it much larger than the original can look soft, since detail can't be invented.
- How do I keep the same shape?
- Use Fit and set only the width, or use Percent.
