Resize Image to 10×10
A 10×10 image is 100 pixels — small enough to embed inline in a web page, big enough to keep the rough colour layout of a photo. That makes it a favourite for loading placeholders. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.
Drag the preview to choose which part of the image is kept. The same framing is used for every image in the batch.
Why choose 10×10?
10×10 is a square image of 100 pixels (0 megapixels) in a square (1:1), mostly used for icons, emoji and favicons.
1:1 square shape
The square (1:1) proportion decides how your photo is framed: plan the subject around that shape before you crop.
Where it is used
10×10 suits icons, emoji and favicons. Using the exact size avoids a website scaling or cropping your image on its own.
Prints 0.03×0.03 in at 300 DPI
That is 0.1×0.1 cm at photo quality, or 0.1×0.1 in at 150 DPI for posters viewed from a distance.
About 0 KB–0 KB as JPG
A typical photo at 10×10 saves to roughly 0 KB–0 KB at good JPG quality; WebP is usually 25–35% smaller.
Sharp results
A 12 MP phone photo has 121,928× more pixels than 10×10, so resizing down keeps it sharp.
Framing control
Filling 10×10 from a 4:3 phone photo trims about 25% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick “Keep aspect ratio” to keep it all.

Using a 10×10 image as a loading placeholder
The main real-world job for 10×10 is the low-quality image placeholder. The page shows a tiny version of the photo, stretched to full size and blurred, and swaps in the real image once it arrives. Visitors see the right colours in the right places immediately instead of a grey box, and the page does not jump around while it loads.
Why 10 and not 100? Size. A 10×10 JPG or WebP is usually a few hundred bytes — small enough to put straight into the HTML as a data URL, so it costs no extra request. Anything much larger defeats the purpose.
Keep the shape honest. 10×10 is square. If your real image is landscape, a square placeholder stretched to 16:9 will look smeared in one direction. For wide photos, keep the aspect ratio and use something like 16×9 in the main resizer; for square thumbnails, 10×10 is right.
Other uses. Averaging a photo down to a handful of colours for a background tint. Generating deterministic test images for software. Checking how a logo reads as a pure colour silhouette.
For crisp pixel-art tiles rather than blurred placeholders, see 8×8. If you actually need a small but recognisable image, jump to 50×50 or larger.

Frequently asked questions
What format should a 10×10 placeholder be?
WebP or JPG at medium quality is usually smallest for photographic placeholders, since the image will be blurred anyway. PNG is larger for photos but exact, which matters if you are sampling colours. Either way the file should be well under 1 KB.
What aspect ratio is 10×10?
10×10 has a square (1:1) aspect ratio. Any size with the same ratio — for example 8×8, 16×16 — can be scaled to it without cropping.
How big will a 10×10 image print?
At 300 DPI (photo quality) 10×10 prints at 0.03×0.03 inches (0.1×0.1 cm). At 150 DPI it covers 0.07×0.07 inches, fine for posters seen from further away.
How large is a 10×10 file?
A photo at 10×10 is usually 0 KB–0 KB as a JPG, and about 0 KB–0 KB as WebP. If you need it smaller, run it through the compressor afterwards.
Will my photo lose quality at 10×10?
No — a normal phone photo is much larger, so it is scaled down and stays sharp.
Can I resize to 10×10 without cropping?
Yes. Tick “Keep aspect ratio”: the whole picture is kept, but one side may come out shorter than 10×10. Without it, the image fills 10×10 exactly and the edges that do not fit the 1:1 shape are trimmed.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
