Appearance

Resize, crop, rotate and flip ​

Three tabs change the shape of an image: Resize, Crop and Rotate/Flip. Each keeps the image's format; GIF and BMP images are saved as JPG.

Resize ​

The Resize tab showing original and output dimensions of 2000 by 1500, width and height fields, Lock aspect ratio, Scale and Preset
The Resize tab. Original shows the image's size, Output the new size.

  1. Import an image and open the Resize tab.

  2. Choose the new size in one of three ways:

    • Type a Width (px) or Height (px). With Lock aspect ratio on (the default), the other value follows so the image keeps its shape.
    • Type a Scale (%), for example 50 for half size.
    • Pick a Preset (see below).

  3. Check Output and Output size. They update as you type.

  4. Select Download.

The download is named after the original with -resized added.

With Lock aspect ratio on and both width and height set, the image is made as large as fits inside that box. Turn the lock off to force exact dimensions; the image is then stretched or squeezed.

Presets ​

A preset fills in the width and height. With the lock on, the image fits inside that size without cropping, so a photo that is not the same shape comes out smaller in one direction. To get the exact shape, crop it to the right ratio first (for example 1:1 for an Instagram post), then resize.

Crop ​

The Crop tab with a crop frame over an image, the aspect ratio buttons Free, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2 and 9:16, and Reset, Apply and Download buttons
Drag the frame or its corner handles to choose the area.

  1. Import an image and open the Crop tab.

  2. Under Aspect ratio, choose Free, 1:1, 16:9, 4:3, 3:2 or 9:16.

  3. Drag the frame to move it, or drag its corner handles to resize it. Crop size shows the size in pixels.

  4. Select Apply. The cropped result and its Output size appear.

  5. Select Download.

The download is named after the original with -cropped added. Reset puts the frame back to its starting place, centred over 80% of the image, with the ratio set to Free.

Rotate and flip ​

  1. Import an image and open the Rotate/Flip tab.

  2. Select Rotate 90°, Rotate 180° or Rotate 270°, and Flip horizontal or Flip vertical, as needed.

    Each button applies to the current result, so you can combine them, for example rotate and then flip. Dimensions and Output size update after each step.

  3. Select Download.

The download is named after the original with -edited added. Reset goes back to the original image.
