# Resize Image in Pixels

Resize your images to exact pixel dimensions. Enter width and height for precise control.

When a form says "upload a 600 by 600 photo" or a marketplace insists on exactly 2000px on the long edge, guessing won't cut it - you need to type a number and get that number back. This tool works in raw pixels: enter the width and height you want and the image is rebuilt to those precise dimensions, down to the last pixel. Type 1080 x 1080 for a square Instagram post, 1280 x 720 for a video thumbnail, or 300 x 250 for a banner ad slot. Leave the aspect ratio lock on and you only need to set one side - the other follows automatically so nothing stretches. Turn the lock off when a spec demands an exact width and height that don't match your original proportions. The whole thing runs in your browser, so even a private headshot or a confidential document scan is never uploaded anywhere.

## How it works

1. **Upload Image** — Select or drag and drop the image you want to resize
2. **Set Dimensions** — Enter new width and height in pixels or percentage
3. **Download** — Get your resized image at the new dimensions

## Use cases

- **Job & Visa Applications**: Hit the exact pixel size a government or employer portal demands for a photo or scan
- **Display Advertising**: Produce creatives at standard IAB pixel sizes like 728x90 or 300x250
- **Video Thumbnails**: Render a 1280x720 still that fits a player's required frame exactly
- **UI Mockups**: Drop placeholder images in at pixel-perfect sizes that match the design grid

## Tips

- **Set One Side, Lock the Rest**: With aspect ratio locked, enter just the width (say 1200px) and the correct height fills in for you - no math, no distortion.
- **Match the Spec Exactly**: Passport forms, ad slots, and avatar uploaders often reject anything off by even a pixel. Type the required numbers rather than eyeballing it.
- **Check Your Starting Pixels**: Note the original width and height first so you know whether you're shrinking (safe) or enlarging (softens detail) before you commit.
- **Even Numbers for Video**: Thumbnails and video stills behave best at even pixel dimensions like 1280 x 720 - some encoders dislike odd numbers.

## FAQ

### Can I set width and height to different exact pixel values?

Yes. Switch off the aspect ratio lock and both fields become independent, so you can force an image to, for example, exactly 800 x 1200 even if that changes its shape.

### How do I find an image's current pixel size?

Most operating systems show width and height in the file's properties or info panel. The tool also reflects the original dimensions when you load the image.

### Will typing larger pixel values improve quality?

No. Entering bigger numbers stretches existing pixels, which adds softness rather than detail. Pixel resizing can only redistribute the detail already captured.

### Does it accept any pixel dimension I type?

There's no hard cap on the numbers you enter, though very large values take longer to render. For web work, dimensions under 3000px are usually plenty.

## Problems solved

- Forms that reject images of the wrong pixel size
- Guessing dimensions instead of typing them
- Distorted images from mismatched width and height
- Hitting exact ad or thumbnail specs

## Stats

- **Exact px** width and height
- **1080x1080** and any custom size
