Maintains exact proportions while making the image web-friendly.
Useful Tips & Best Practices
- Always keep "Maintain Aspect Ratio" enabled unless you deliberately want to stretch or squish an image.
- Use the 1200x630px preset for OpenGraph social sharing preview images on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
- Scale images down rather than scaling small images up to avoid pixelation and blurriness.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I change only the width?
With "Maintain Aspect Ratio" checked, the height is automatically calculated in real time so your image never distorts.
Can I export in a different format than the original?
Yes. You can choose to download your resized image as PNG, JPEG, or modern WebP.
Does resizing reduce image file size?
Yes. Lowering pixel dimensions substantially cuts down total pixel count and file size.
