How to Resize an Image (px or %) Without Distorting It

Every place asks for a size: the cover photo, the avatar, the email attachment. Resizing gets the image to the right dimensions — and, done with the aspect ratio locked, without that "stretched" look.

When to resize

• For social media (each platform has its ideal sizes).
• To make it lighter before sending or posting.
• To fit a specific space on a website or document.

How to resize, step by step

1. Open the resize image tool.
2. Drop in your image.
3. Set the new size in pixels or percentage.
4. Keep the aspect ratio option on so it won't distort.
5. Download the adjusted image.

Do it with the resize image tool.

Important tip

Shrinking works great. Enlarging too much, though, makes the image blurry — you can't invent detail that isn't in the original file. If your goal is just a lighter file, try the compress image tool too.

FAQ

Will I lose quality? When shrinking, the loss is minimal. When enlarging a lot, yes.

What's the difference between resizing and compressing? Resizing changes the dimensions (width × height); compressing reduces the file size while keeping the dimensions.
