Resize Image to 240×240
240×240 is the native resolution of many small square screens — the 1.3-inch colour displays used in hobby electronics and some smartwatch faces. It is also a tidy mid-size thumbnail. 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 240×240?
240×240 gives a square canvas with a 1:1 ratio and 0.06 MP of detail. People most often need it for avatars, icons and thumbnails.
1:1 square shape
Every 240×240 image has a square (1:1) ratio, so anything you design for it keeps the same proportions on every screen.
Where it is used
240×240 suits avatars, icons and thumbnails. Using the exact size avoids a website scaling or cropping your image on its own.
Prints 0.8×0.8 in at 300 DPI
That is 2×2 cm at photo quality, or 1.6×1.6 in at 150 DPI for posters viewed from a distance.
About 9 KB–18 KB as JPG
Expect around 9 KB–18 KB for a JPG photo at this size. Simple graphics are smaller, PNG photos several times larger.
Sharp results
A 12 MP phone photo has 212× more pixels than 240×240, so resizing down keeps it sharp.
Framing control
Filling 240×240 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.

Preparing images for a 240×240 screen
Match the panel exactly. Small TFT and IPS displays sold for Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi projects are often 240×240. Drawing an image that is already the panel's size avoids scaling on a microcontroller, which is slow and often low quality.
Round screens are square files. Circular displays and many watch faces still use a square 240×240 buffer and simply do not show the corners. Keep the important content within the central circle.
Colour depth matters more than format. Many small displays use 16-bit colour (RGB565), which shows banding in smooth gradients. Bold colours and simple shapes look better than photos with subtle skies. Convert to your device's raw format with your usual tooling after resizing — this page gets the dimensions right.
For the web. 240×240 also works as a mid-size thumbnail, sharp at 120 CSS pixels on high-DPI screens.
Crop first. Use the cropper with the 1:1 ratio, then resize here. PNG keeps edges exact; JPG is smaller for photos.
Other small-display sizes: 320×240 for QVGA screens and 128×128 for the tiniest modules.

Frequently asked questions
What image size should I use for a 240×240 TFT display?
Exactly 240×240, so the microcontroller can draw it without scaling. Resize here, then convert to the raw colour format your display library expects (commonly RGB565). Simple, high-contrast images survive 16-bit colour best.
What aspect ratio is 240×240?
240×240 has a square (1:1) aspect ratio. Any size with the same ratio — for example 250×250, 256×256 — can be scaled to it without cropping.
How big will a 240×240 image print?
At 300 DPI (photo quality) 240×240 prints at 0.8×0.8 inches (2×2 cm). At 150 DPI it covers 1.6×1.6 inches, fine for posters seen from further away.
How large is a 240×240 file?
A photo at 240×240 is usually 9 KB–18 KB as a JPG, and about 6 KB–13 KB as WebP. If you need it smaller, run it through the compressor afterwards.
Will my photo lose quality at 240×240?
No — a normal phone photo is much larger, so it is scaled down and stays sharp.
Can I resize to 240×240 without cropping?
Yes. Tick “Keep aspect ratio”: the whole picture is kept, but one side may come out shorter than 240×240. Without it, the image fills 240×240 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.
