Image guide
Resize images without cropping
Resizing changes the width and height of an image in pixels. Cropping cuts away part of the picture. If you want to keep the whole photo but make it smaller, you want resizing, not cropping.
Aspect ratio matters
The aspect ratio is the relationship between width and height. If you change only one dimension and keep the ratio locked, the other dimension updates automatically. This prevents stretched or squeezed images.
When to resize
- A website asks for an image under a certain pixel width.
- A photo is much larger than it needs to be for a blog or form.
- You want a smaller file but do not want to crop faces, text, or edges.
- You are preparing many images to share at a consistent size.
When cropping is different
Crop only when you intentionally want to remove part of the image or change the composition. If the full picture matters, resize with aspect ratio preserved.
