Alat za promjenu veličine slike: what it does and how to use it
The image resizer changes pixel dimensions, either to an exact width and height or by a percentage of the original. That is the right first step when a form asks for 1200×630, a marketplace wants a square thumbnail, or a photo is simply larger than the page will ever display.
Pixel mode can lock the aspect ratio. With the lock on, typing a width updates the height so the picture is not stretched. Turn the lock off only when you truly want a different shape — stretching a portrait into a landscape will look wrong. Percent mode scales from 5% to 100%, which is useful when you want “about half the size” and do not care about an exact pixel count.
One image is processed at a time, in the browser. The download is a new file; the original is not overwritten. Resizing down is safe. Resizing up only spreads the same pixels across more space, so a small screenshot will look soft if you enlarge it.
How to use it
- 1
Drop a single image
The drop zone accepts a picture and reads its current dimensions so the width, height, and ratio start from the real file.
- 2
Pick pixels or percent
Pixels is for a target size such as 1920×1080. Percent is for a relative shrink, for example 50% of whatever the camera produced.
- 3
Set the size
In pixel mode, edit width and height. Leave “Lock aspect ratio” checked unless you mean to stretch. In percent mode, drag the scale. 100% is the original size; the slider does not enlarge past that.

Download the result
When resizing finishes, the row shows the new filename and file size. Download it and open it once at the size you will actually use.
Good uses
- Open Graph and social images that must be an exact pixel size.
- Shrinking phone photos before they go into a CMS.
- Making a lighter copy of a diagram without recompressing it by guesswork.
- Checking how a photo looks at half scale before you commit to that size.
Tips
- Decide the display size first. A hero image that is shown at 1600 pixels wide does not need a 6000-pixel source.
- Lock aspect ratio for photos of people and products. Unlock it only for assets that were designed to be cropped or stretched.
- Resize, then compress. Doing both in the right order avoids encoding a huge image just to shrink it afterward.
- Percent mode stops at 100%. To go larger than the original you would be inventing pixels — this tool does not do that.
Limits to know
- One image per run, not a folder.
- Percent scaling cannot go above 100% or below 5%.
- The tool changes dimensions. It does not crop, rotate, or add a background.
Questions
Will locking the ratio crop the image?+
No. The lock only keeps width and height in proportion. The full picture stays in frame; it is not cropped to a new shape.
Why can’t I make the image larger than the original?+
Enlarging a bitmap does not add real detail. Percent mode is capped at 100% so you do not accidentally publish a blurry upscale.
Does this upload my photo?+
No. The resize runs locally and the new file downloads to your device.
What if I need a square thumbnail?+
Turn the aspect lock off and set equal width and height only if stretching is acceptable. This tool does not crop to a square.
