About Image Resizing

Image resizing changes the dimensions of an image while attempting to preserve visual quality. This is essential for:

• Creating thumbnails and previews
• Adapting images for different screen sizes
• Preparing images for social media platforms
• Reducing file sizes by decreasing dimensions

Resize Modes Explained

• Percentage: Scale the image by a percentage of its original size
• Dimensions: Set exact width and height in pixels
• Custom: Choose from common presets or set custom dimensions

Best Practices

• For web use, resize images to their display dimensions to save bandwidth
• Maintain aspect ratio to prevent distortion (enabled by default)
• For high-quality prints, avoid upscaling (increasing dimensions)
• Combine resizing with compression for optimal results
