Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best image sizes for social media in 2024?
Instagram Post: 1080x1080 (square) or 1080x1350 (portrait), Instagram Story: 1080x1920, YouTube Thumbnail: 1280x720, Facebook Cover: 820x312, Twitter Header: 1500x500, LinkedIn Banner: 1584x396, Pinterest Pin: 1000x1500. Our tool has all these as one-click presets.
Will resizing reduce image quality?
Downsizing (making smaller) typically maintains good quality. Upsizing (making larger) will reduce quality as pixels are interpolated. For best results, start with high-resolution source images and only downsize. Our tool uses high-quality Canvas API algorithms to minimize quality loss.
What is aspect ratio and should I lock it?
Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between width and height (e.g., 16:9, 4:3, 1:1). Locking aspect ratio prevents distortion by maintaining these proportions when resizing. Unlock only if you specifically need custom dimensions and distortion is acceptable.
Can I resize images in bulk?
Yes! Upload multiple images at once, set your desired dimensions or preset, and click "Resize All". All images will be processed with the same settings. Download individually or as a ZIP file containing all resized images.
What happens if I resize an image larger than the original?
Upsizing creates larger dimensions but cannot add real detail. The result will be pixelated or blurry. We recommend only downsizing or using images at their native resolution. If you must upsize, keep the increase minimal (under 120% of original).
Which image format should I choose for resized images?
Use JPG for photos and images with many colors (smaller file size). Use PNG for graphics with transparency, text, or sharp edges (better quality but larger files). WebP offers best compression if browser support is not a concern. The tool preserves your original format.
Are my images uploaded to your servers?
No! All image resizing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript Canvas API. You can verify in browser DevTools Network tab - no uploads occur. Your images remain completely private and never leave your device.
How do I resize images to exact pixel dimensions?
Enter your desired width and height in pixels in the custom dimension fields. Unlock aspect ratio if you need exact dimensions without proportion constraints. The preview will show you the exact output size before processing.
