Stretch Image

Sometimes you need an image to fill an exact size with nothing cut off. This page stretches it to any width and height, changing its proportions instead of cropping. 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.

  1. Add your images, or drop them in.
  2. Choose By dimensions for an exact width and height, By percentage to scale, or a Preset for common social and screen sizes.
  3. 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.

Stretching vs cropping

What stretching does. A normal resize keeps proportions and crops what does not fit. Stretching keeps every part of the picture but pulls it wider or taller to fill the frame, so shapes are distorted.

When it is the right choice. Backgrounds, gradients, textures, abstract patterns and UI elements can usually be stretched without anyone noticing. Faces, text and logos look wrong when stretched — crop those instead.

Small changes are invisible. Stretching by a few percent (for example 1920×1080 to 1920×1100) is rarely noticeable. Large changes are. To keep proportions but avoid cropping, use the fit option on the image resizer, which adds bands instead.

Frequently asked questions

Will stretching distort my image?

Yes, it changes the proportions. That is fine for backgrounds and textures, but faces, text and logos look squashed or pulled; crop those instead.

Which size should I resize to for Instagram, YouTube or Facebook?

Check our social media image sizes guide. It gives the exact pixels and aspect ratio for every post, story, cover and profile picture on each platform, with links that open this resizer already set to the most common ones.

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.
