Phixit

Resize an image

Change a photo's width and height in pixels or by percentage. Phixit uses Lanczos resampling, the method professional editors use, so shrunk photos stay crisp and enlarged ones stay smooth.

Free, no sign-up. Your photo stays on your device. Try it on a sample photo

How to resize an image

  1. Choose or drop a photo above. It opens in the editor with the Resize tool ready.
  2. Type a width or a height, or pick a preset such as 50% or 1920 px. Keep proportions stays on so the photo is not stretched.
  3. Select Resize image, then go to Export to save it as JPEG, PNG or WebP.

Good to know

  • For pixel art and screenshots, choose Nearest resampling so hard edges stay hard.
  • If a form asks for a file size in KB rather than a size in pixels, use Compress an image instead.
  • Very large photos are scaled to fit your device's memory when they open, and the editor tells you when that happens.

Questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Phixit runs entirely in your browser. The photo is read and resized on your own device and is never sent to a server.

What sizes can I use?

Anything from 1 pixel up to 8192 pixels on the longest side, within the memory of your device. Phones have a lower limit than computers.

Does resizing reduce quality?

Shrinking keeps as much detail as the new size allows. Enlarging cannot add detail that was never there, so big enlargements look soft.
