Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the free image resizer, grouped by task. Everything runs in your browser, so your pictures are never uploaded.

Image resizer

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no trial and no daily limit. The site is paid for by a single advertisement next to the tool. Very large pictures can be too much for a phone or an old computer, and you will see a message if that happens.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Resizing happens on your own device, inside your browser. Your images are never sent to our servers.

Which formats are supported?

You can open JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP files, and AVIF where your browser supports it. You can save as JPG, PNG or WebP.

Will resizing reduce the quality?

Making a picture smaller keeps it sharp because the tool uses a high-quality filter. Making it larger cannot add detail that is not there, so enlarged pictures look softer. For JPG and WebP you can choose the quality yourself.

How do I get an image under a size such as 50 KB?

Turn on Limit the file size, type the number and press Resize images. The tool lowers the quality and, if needed, the dimensions until the file fits. Choose JPG or WebP for the best results, because PNG cannot be reduced that way.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The page works in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Very large photos can be limited on older phones.

Resize to KB

Why is my file still bigger than the limit?

Very detailed photos need more data. If the limit cannot be met even at the lowest quality, the tool also makes the picture smaller. If it still cannot reach the target, it tells you the smallest size it could make.

Can I resize many photos to the same limit?

Yes. Add all of them, set the limit once and download them together as a ZIP file.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens in your browser, so your photo never leaves your device.

Resize in cm, mm or inches

How many pixels is one inch?

It depends on the DPI. At 300 DPI one inch is 300 pixels. At 96 DPI it is 96 pixels.

Will it print at exactly this size?

The tool sets the pixel size that matches your size at the DPI you choose. Print the picture at its actual size, or at that DPI, to get the size you asked for.

What size is a 4 x 6 inch photo?

At 300 DPI, 4 x 6 inches is 1,200 x 1,800 pixels.

Passport photo size

What is the standard passport photo size?

It varies. The United States uses 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm). The United Kingdom, the European Union and Australia use 35 x 45 mm. Canada uses 50 x 70 mm.

Can I use this for a visa photo?

Yes, if the visa requirement matches one of the sizes. Many visas use the same size as the passport, but some countries have their own, so always check the official rules.

How many pixels is a passport photo?

At 300 DPI, 35 x 45 mm is 413 x 531 pixels and 2 x 2 inches is 600 x 600 pixels.

Social media sizes

What is the best size for an Instagram post?

Use 1080 x 1080 pixels for a square post and 1080 x 1350 pixels for a portrait post.

What size should a YouTube thumbnail be?

1280 x 720 pixels, with a file size below 2 MB.

Will my picture be cropped?

With Crop to fill the middle of the picture is kept and the edges that do not fit are trimmed. Choose Fit inside the box if you prefer to keep everything.

Convert images

Does converting reduce the quality?

PNG output is lossless. JPG and WebP are lossy, but at high quality the difference is hard to see. You can set the quality yourself.

Can I convert HEIC photos from my iPhone?

Not yet, because most browsers cannot open HEIC files. On your iPhone you can set Camera formats to Most Compatible, or share the photo as a JPG.

Compress images

How much smaller will my file be?

Photos straight from a phone often shrink by 60 to 90 percent. Pictures that are already compressed shrink less.

Can I compress many images at once?

Yes. Add them all and download a single ZIP file.

Resize to 20 KB

How do I reduce a photo to 20 KB?

Add the photo, keep the 20 KB limit selected and press Resize images. The tool searches for the highest JPG quality that fits under 20 KB and makes the picture smaller only if that is not enough.

Is 20 KB the same as 20,000 bytes?

Here it is. Some systems count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes, so a file under 20,000 bytes is under the limit either way.

Can I use this for a signature?

Yes. Sign with a dark pen on white paper, photograph it in good light, crop close to the signature and resize it to 20 KB. There is also a separate page for resizing signatures.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser, so the picture stays on your device.

Resize to 50 KB

How can I compress a photo to 50 KB without losing quality?

You cannot keep every detail, but you can keep the visible quality. The tool first lowers the JPG quality gradually and only then reduces the picture size, so you get the sharpest result that fits.

Which format should I use for a 50 KB photo?

JPG. It gives the smallest files for photos and is accepted by almost every portal.

Will the photo be exactly 50 KB?

It will be 50 KB or smaller. The tool aims just under the limit so the file passes on every system.

Do you keep my photo?

No. The picture is processed on your device and never uploaded.

Resize to 100 KB

How do I compress an image to 100 KB?

Add the image, keep the 100 KB limit and press Resize images. The tool finds the best JPG quality that fits.

Can I compress a PDF to 100 KB here?

No. This tool works on pictures (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP). Save or photograph the page as an image first.

Is the quality good at 100 KB?

For photos of faces and for documents, usually yes. Very detailed pictures, such as large landscapes, may look softer.

Is it free and private?

Yes. There is no signup and no watermark, and your files never leave your device.

Resize to 200 KB

How do I reduce an image to 200 KB?

Add the image, keep the 200 KB limit and press Resize images. The tool picks the best JPG quality that fits.

What is the difference between 200 KB and 2 MB?

2 MB is about ten times bigger. 200 KB is only 0.2 MB. Check that the unit on your form is KB and not MB.

Can I use PNG for a 200 KB limit?

PNG files are lossless, so the tool can only make the picture smaller to reach a limit. JPG keeps more detail at the same file size.

Are my documents safe?

Yes. They are processed in your browser and are never uploaded, which matters for ID documents.

Resize signature

What size should a signature be for an online form?

It depends on the form. Many ask for about 10 to 20 KB and a small width and height in pixels. Always follow the exact numbers in the official notice.

How do I make my signature 10 KB?

Add the signature, choose the 10 KB limit in the Preset list and press Resize images.

Can I remove the paper background?

This tool resizes and compresses; it does not remove backgrounds. Use plain white paper so the result looks clean.

Nothing is uploaded. The signature is processed inside your browser and stays on your device.

PNG to JPG

How do I convert PNG to JPG?

Add your PNG, make sure JPG is the output format and press Resize images. Download the JPG when it is ready.

Does converting PNG to JPG reduce quality?

A little. JPG is lossy. At a quality of 85 or higher the difference is rarely visible for photos.

What happens to transparent areas?

They are filled with white, because JPG cannot be transparent.

Can I convert many PNG files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, up to 500 at a time, and download them one by one or as a ZIP.

JPG to PNG

How do I convert JPG to PNG?

Add your JPG, make sure PNG is the output format and press Resize images. Download the PNG when it is ready.

Will the PNG be bigger than the JPG?

Usually yes, often several times bigger for photos, because PNG keeps every detail.

Does converting JPG to PNG improve quality?

No. It stops further quality loss, but it cannot bring back detail that the JPG compression already removed.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser and your pictures never leave your device.

WebP to JPG

Can I convert WebP to JPG on my phone?

Yes. It works in the browser of any modern phone, with no app to install.

Why do websites save images as WebP?

WebP files are smaller than JPG files at similar quality, which makes pages load faster.

Is the quality the same after converting?

Almost. Both formats are lossy, so a high JPG quality keeps the picture looking the same.

Is it free?

Yes. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on the number of pictures.
