Resize Image to Postcard Size
The most common postcard is 6 × 4 inches, landscape. This page sets it at 300 DPI — 1800 × 1200 pixels — ready for a print shop or postcard service. 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.

Postcard sizes around the world
6 × 4 inches (152 × 102 mm) is the standard print and mailing size in the US and many print services. A6 (148 × 105 mm) is the common European size — close, but not identical. For A6, change the unit to millimetres and type 148 × 105 (1748 × 1240 pixels at 300 DPI).
Leave room for trimming. Printers usually cut postcards from larger sheets; keep text and faces at least 3–4 mm from every edge, and add bleed if the printer asks.
The back. Postal rules reserve space for the address and stamp on the reverse — if you design the back too, follow the service's template.
Portrait photo print instead? 4R (4×6). Bigger card: 5×7 inch.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a standard postcard?
Commonly 6×4 inches (1800×1200 px at 300 DPI) in the US, and A6 (148×105 mm) in Europe. Check your printer's or postal service's template.
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.
