Why choose 500×1000?

500×1000 is a portrait image of 500,000 pixels (0.5 megapixels) in a tall 1:2, mostly used for portrait photos, posters and mobile screens.

▢

1:2 portrait shape

The tall 1:2 proportion decides how your photo is framed: plan the subject around that shape before you crop.

🎯

Where it is used

500×1000 suits portrait photos, posters and mobile screens. Using the exact size avoids a website scaling or cropping your image on its own.

🖨

Prints 1.67×3.33 in at 300 DPI

That is 4.2×8.5 cm at photo quality, or 3.3×6.7 in at 150 DPI for posters viewed from a distance.

💾

About 78 KB–160 KB as JPG

Expect around 78 KB–160 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 24× more pixels than 500×1000, so resizing down keeps it sharp.

✂

Framing control

Filling 500×1000 from a 3:4 phone photo trims about 33% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick “Keep aspect ratio” to keep it all.

Filling a tall 1:2 frame

Most photos are too wide. A 4:3 phone photo held upright is 3:4, still well short of 1:2. Turning it into 500×1000 cuts a lot from the sides, so choose images with a vertical subject — a person standing, a building, a bottle.

Infographics. Tall images read top-to-bottom like a scroll. Keep text at least 16 pixels high at this width so it can be read on a phone.

Pinterest. Pins are shown best at 2:3 (such as 600×900). Very tall pins may be cut in the feed, so test before posting a 1:2 image.

Other tall sizes: 1080×1920 (9:16), 420×645.

Frequently asked questions

What aspect ratio is 500×1000?

500×1000 has a tall 1:2 aspect ratio. Images with a different shape have to be cropped or padded to fit it.

How big will a 500×1000 image print?

At 300 DPI (photo quality) 500×1000 prints at 1.67×3.33 inches (4.2×8.5 cm). At 150 DPI it covers 3.33×6.67 inches, fine for posters seen from further away.

How large is a 500×1000 file?

A photo at 500×1000 is usually 78 KB–160 KB as a JPG, and about 55 KB–110 KB as WebP. If you need it smaller, run it through the compressor afterwards.

Will my photo lose quality at 500×1000?

No — a normal phone photo is much larger, so it is scaled down and stays sharp.

Can I resize to 500×1000 without cropping?

Yes. Tick “Keep aspect ratio”: the whole picture is kept, but one side may come out shorter than 500×1000. Without it, the image fills 500×1000 exactly and the edges that do not fit the 1:2 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.
