FAQ

Do you upload my images?

No. Your images are processed locally in your browser, so resizing doesn’t require uploading your files. Quick tip: If a file is huge and feels slow, resize dimensions first to reduce memory usage. Common mistake: Uploading a small screenshot and then scaling up—upscaling will look soft.

How do I resize images online without losing quality?

Start from a larger source, resize down (not up), and export at higher quality (JPG ~90–95). Quick tip: Use PNG for text/logos to keep edges sharp. Common mistake: Upscaling small images—quality loss is unavoidable.

Can I resize images by inches or cm?

Yes, but first convert to pixels using DPI (pixels = inches × DPI). Quick tip: For screen work, use pixel sizes directly for best results. Common mistake: Entering inches/cm without DPI—results won’t match expectations.

How do I resize for Instagram (Story, post, Reels)?

Use Instagram presets: Story/Reels 1080×1920 (9:16), Post 1080×1080 (1:1) or 1080×1350 (4:5), Landscape 1080×566 (1.91:1). Quick tip: If unsure, start with 1080×1920 for vertical content and keep key text centered. Common mistake: Resizing a square post to Story size without repositioning—edges get cut.

Is this an Instagram resize app?

It’s a browser-based Instagram resizer—no download and no upload required. Quick tip: For very large images, desktop browsers tend to be faster than mobile. Common mistake: Trying to resize giant files on older phones—browser memory can fail.

Can I resize multiple photos at once?

Yes. Use the Batch Resizer to apply one size to many images. Quick tip: If you need per-image crop focus, resize them one by one. Common mistake: Uploading dozens of huge files on mobile—memory limits can slow things down.

Crop vs Pad — which should I choose?

Use Crop to fill the target size (edges may be cut). Use Pad to keep the entire image visible (adds background/space). Quick tip: If your design has text near edges, Pad is usually safer. Common mistake: Using Crop for posters with edge text—important text often gets cut.

Why does my resized image look blurry?

Blurry results usually come from a low-resolution source or heavy compression during export. Quick tip: For photos export JPG at ~90–95; for text/logos use PNG. Common mistake: Exporting JPG at very low quality to “save size”—it ruins sharp edges and text.

How do I avoid cutting faces or important content?

Choose Pad to preserve everything, or use Crop and adjust the focus/position to keep the subject centered. Quick tip: Keep key content in the center area whenever possible. Common mistake: Placing faces or text right at the edges—most crops remove edges first.

What format should I export: JPG, PNG, or WebP?

JPG is best for photos, PNG is best for text/logos or transparency, and WebP is often the smallest if supported. Quick tip: If you’re unsure about compatibility, use JPG/PNG. Common mistake: Using PNG for large photos—file size often becomes unnecessarily big.

Can I keep transparency?

Yes. Export as PNG (or WebP with alpha if available). JPG does not support transparency. Quick tip: If you need a solid background, use Pad and pick a matching color. Common mistake: Exporting a transparent design as JPG—background will turn solid.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes on modern mobile browsers, but performance depends on your device and image size. Quick tip: If it’s slow on mobile, try fewer images or a smaller source file. Common mistake: Editing ultra-large images on older phones—browser memory can fail.

Crop vs Pad — what is the difference?

Crop fills the target size (may cut edges). Pad fits the whole image and adds background/space.

What format should I export?

JPG for photos, PNG for text or transparency, WebP for smaller files (if supported).

Why does the output look blurry?

Use a higher-resolution source and export with higher quality.

Is there a max image size?

Very large files can exceed browser memory limits on some devices.
