Resize Image to Letter Size
Letter is the standard paper size in the US, Canada and parts of Latin America — 8.5 × 11 inches. At 300 DPI a Letter page is 2550 × 3300 pixels. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.

How to resize an image
Resizing changes the pixel dimensions of an image — making it fit a specific width, a percentage of the original, or a platform's required size. Smaller dimensions also mean a smaller file, which is why resizing is one of the most effective ways to speed up a page.
- Add your images, or drop them in.
- Choose By dimensions for an exact width and height, By percentage to scale, or a Preset for common social and screen sizes.
- Click Resize, then download each file or grab them all as a ZIP.
Exact or proportional
Set precise pixels with aspect-ratio lock, scale by percentage, or pick a preset. Whatever the target needs.
Batch, instantly
Resize a whole folder at once to the same dimensions. No upload wait, no queue, no file limit.
Nothing is uploaded
Your images are resized by your own browser and never sent to a server, so they stay completely private.

Will resizing reduce quality?
Making an image smaller is safe — you are discarding pixels you no longer need, and the result looks clean. Making an image larger than its original is where quality suffers, because the browser has to invent pixels that were never there, which looks soft or blocky.
As a rule: resize down freely, but avoid scaling up much beyond the original dimensions. If you need a smaller file rather than smaller dimensions, use the compressor instead.

Letter vs A4
They are not the same. Letter (216 × 279 mm) is 6 mm wider and 18 mm shorter than A4 (210 × 297 mm). A page designed for one gets cropped or shrunk on the other — pick the paper the printer actually uses.
Sending to the US? Use Letter. Printing in Europe, Asia or Pakistan? Use A4.
Printing at 100%. In the print dialog choose "Actual size"; "Fit to page" adds its own margins and scales the image.
Document scans for Letter-size forms are usually fine at 200 DPI (1700 × 2200 pixels) — smaller files, still readable.
Same size, more detail on printing: 8.5×11 inch. Longer US paper: Legal.

Frequently asked questions
Is Letter size the same as A4?
No. Letter is 8.5×11 inches (216×279 mm); A4 is 210×297 mm — narrower and taller.
What is the difference between resizing and compressing?
Resizing changes the dimensions (the width and height in pixels). Compressing keeps the dimensions but reduces the file size by lowering quality. Resizing down does both at once, which is why it is so effective. For file size alone, use the compressor.
Will the aspect ratio be kept?
In dimensions mode, tick "Keep aspect ratio" and set just the width or height — the other is calculated automatically so the image is not stretched. Untick it to force exact dimensions, which may distort the image.
Can I resize many images at once?
Yes. Drop in as many as you like and they are all resized to the same setting in one go, then you can download them together as a ZIP. There is no limit on how many.
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.
Which format will I get back?
Images keep their original format where the browser supports it (JPG, PNG, WebP). Formats a browser cannot write, like GIF or BMP, come back as PNG. To change format on purpose, use the converter.
