Why Choose Our Image Resizer?

How to Use the Image Resizer

1. Upload Image: Drag and drop or click to browse for PNG, JPG, JPEG, or WEBP files (max 10MB)
2. Set Dimensions: Enter target width/height in pixels, or use quick presets like 1920×1080
3. Lock Aspect Ratio: Keep enabled to prevent distortion, or disable for custom stretching
4. Choose Format: Select PNG (lossless), JPG (smaller), or WEBP (modern compression)
5. Adjust Quality: Slide from 1-100% to balance file size vs. visual quality
6. Download: Click to save your resized image with the new dimensions and format

Understanding Image Formats & Quality

Choosing the right format and quality settings ensures optimal results for your use case:

• PNG: Lossless compression with transparency support. Best for logos, graphics, screenshots. Larger file sizes but no quality degradation.
• JPG/JPEG: Lossy compression ideal for photos. Smaller files but some quality loss at lower settings. Use 80-90% quality for photos.
• WEBP: Modern format with superior compression. Combines PNG's quality with JPG's file size. Supported by all major browsers (2023+).
• Aspect Ratio: Width-to-height proportion (e.g., 16:9 for 1920×1080). Locking prevents distortion; unlocking allows custom stretching.

For web optimization, aim for under 200KB per image. Use WEBP at 80% quality for photos, or PNG for graphics with transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy & Security

Your privacy is paramount. Here's how we protect your images:

• Client-Side Processing: All resizing happens in your browser using HTML5 Canvas API. No server uploads or cloud processing.
• Zero Data Storage: Images are never saved, logged, or transmitted. They exist only in your browser's memory during the session.
• No Tracking: We don't track which images you resize or their content. Your workflow remains completely private.
• Offline Capable: Once loaded, the tool works without an internet connection (though initial page load requires connectivity).

Technical Implementation

For developers interested in the underlying technology:

// Basic image resize with Canvas API
function resizeImage(file, width, height, quality) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    const reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = (e) => {
      const img = new Image();
      img.onload = () => {
        const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
        canvas.width = width;
        canvas.height = height;
        const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
        ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height);
        canvas.toBlob(resolve, 'image/png', quality);
      };
      img.src = e.target.result;
    };
    reader.readAsDataURL(file);
  });
}
