Image Resizer

Frequently asked questions

Will resizing an image make it blurry?

Shrinking an image stays sharp because pixels are averaged down. Enlarging beyond the original dimensions invents pixels and looks soft, so resize down rather than up whenever possible.

What dimensions should I use for social media or blog posts?

Common targets are 1200x630 for Open Graph share images, 1080x1080 for Instagram squares, and around 1600px wide for blog hero images. Match the platform's spec to avoid auto-cropping.

Does keeping aspect ratio matter?

Yes. Changing width and height independently stretches the image and distorts faces and shapes. Locking the aspect ratio scales both dimensions proportionally.
