Resize Image to 480×480
480×480 is a mid-size square — sharp on phones without the weight of a full 1080-pixel post. It suits profile photos, product tiles and forum or chat images. 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 480×480?
480×480 is a square image of 230,400 pixels (0.23 megapixels) in a square (1:1), mostly used for profile pictures and small product images.
1:1 square shape
Every 480×480 image has a square (1:1) ratio, so anything you design for it keeps the same proportions on every screen.
Where it is used
480×480 suits profile pictures and small product images. Using the exact size avoids a website scaling or cropping your image on its own.
Prints 1.6×1.6 in at 300 DPI
That is 4.1×4.1 cm at photo quality, or 3.2×3.2 in at 150 DPI for posters viewed from a distance.
About 36 KB–72 KB as JPG
Expect around 36 KB–72 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 53× more pixels than 480×480, so resizing down keeps it sharp.
Framing control
Filling 480×480 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.

Choosing 480×480
Sharp at 240 CSS pixels. On a 2× phone screen, a 480-pixel square fills a 240-point slot perfectly — the size of many profile headers, product grid tiles and card images.
Small files. A 480×480 JPG is typically 30–70 KB, so a grid of twenty still loads quickly on mobile data.
Chat and stickers. Messaging apps display images at a few hundred pixels; 480 looks crisp without the upload taking long.
Crop, then resize. A non-square photo is cropped to fill; drag the preview to keep the right part in the square.

Frequently asked questions
How big is a 480×480 image file?
Usually 30–70 KB as a JPG at good quality, depending on detail. PNG photos are much larger.
What aspect ratio is 480×480?
480×480 has a square (1:1) aspect ratio. Any size with the same ratio — for example 500×500, 450×450 — can be scaled to it without cropping.
How big will a 480×480 image print?
At 300 DPI (photo quality) 480×480 prints at 1.6×1.6 inches (4.1×4.1 cm). At 150 DPI it covers 3.2×3.2 inches, fine for posters seen from further away.
How large is a 480×480 file?
A photo at 480×480 is usually 36 KB–72 KB as a JPG, and about 25 KB–50 KB as WebP. If you need it smaller, run it through the compressor afterwards.
Will my photo lose quality at 480×480?
No — a normal phone photo is much larger, so it is scaled down and stays sharp.
Can I resize to 480×480 without cropping?
Yes. Tick “Keep aspect ratio”: the whole picture is kept, but one side may come out shorter than 480×480. Without it, the image fills 480×480 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.
