Why Should You Resize Images?
🚀 Faster Websites
Large images slow down websites, hurting user experience and SEO. Optimized images load faster and improve your site's performance.
📱 Social Media Requirements
Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter have optimal image sizes. Our presets ensure your images look perfect on every platform.
📧 Email Attachments
Reduce image size to avoid exceeding email attachment limits. Perfect for sharing photos via email without compromising quality.
📝 Online Forms & Applications
Many application portals have strict image dimension and file size requirements. Resize images to meet these specifications.
What is Aspect Ratio?
Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image. For example, a 4:3 aspect ratio means the width is 4 units for every 3 units of height.
When you resize an image, maintaining the aspect ratio prevents distortion. Our tool's "lock" feature automatically maintains the original proportions, ensuring your image looks perfect at any size.
💡 Pro Tip:
Always keep the aspect ratio locked unless you specifically want to stretch or squash your image for creative purposes.
