You need an image at exactly 800×600 pixels. Or 1200×628 for an Open Graph image. Or 1080×1080 for Instagram. The original is the wrong size and you need it fixed without opening Photoshop.

How to Resize an Image to Specific Pixel Dimensions
- Go to the Image Resizer
- Click or drag and drop your image (JPG, PNG, or WebP)
- Enter your target width and height in pixels
- Toggle Lock Aspect Ratio on or off depending on whether you need exact dimensions or proportional scaling
- Click Resize
- Download the resized image

Lock Aspect Ratio — On or Off?
Aspect ratio locked (default): Enter one dimension and the other calculates automatically to keep the image proportional. Use this when you want to scale the image without distorting it — for example, shrinking a 1920×1080 photo to 960×540.
Aspect ratio unlocked: Enter both width and height independently. The image is stretched or compressed to fit those exact dimensions exactly. Use this when the output must be a specific size regardless of distortion — for example, a platform that requires exactly 1:1 images.
Common Pixel Dimensions by Use Case
| Use Case | Width × Height |
|---|---|
| Open Graph / Facebook link preview | 1200 × 628 px |
| Twitter / X card | 1200 × 675 px |
| Instagram post (square) | 1080 × 1080 px |
| Instagram post (portrait) | 1080 × 1350 px |
| YouTube thumbnail | 1280 × 720 px |
| LinkedIn post image | 1200 × 627 px |
| WhatsApp shared image | 800 × 800 px |
| Email header | 600 × 200 px |
| Favicon | 32 × 32 px or 64 × 64 px |
Resize vs Compress — Which Do You Need?
Resize changes the pixel dimensions of the image — the actual width and height. The file size changes as a side effect.
Compress reduces the file size without necessarily changing the pixel dimensions. The image stays the same width and height but takes up less storage.
If your image is too large in pixels — use the resizer.
If your image is too large in file size (MB/KB) — use the Image Compressor.
Often you need both: resize to the correct dimensions, then compress to reduce file size.
Does Resizing Reduce Image Quality?
Scaling down (making an image smaller) preserves quality well — the tool uses high-quality smoothing to avoid pixelation.
Scaling up (making an image larger than its original size) will reduce sharpness. Pixels are interpolated, which softens edges. For best results, always start with an image larger than your target dimensions and scale down.
Is My Image Uploaded to a Server?
No. All resizing happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device — it is never sent to any server, never stored, and never accessible to anyone else.
