Resize Image – common questions

What size is used?

1280×720 pixels. You can change the numbers before resizing.

Will my image be stretched?

No. With crop to fill the image is scaled and centre-cropped; without it, it fits inside the size with the original proportions.

Can I resize several images at once?

Yes, add them together and download a ZIP.

Are my images uploaded?

Nothing is uploaded: the file is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
