How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Any resolution works — the AI can both upscale and downscale while maintaining quality.

Expect: Simple resize: 15-20 seconds. Resize with quality enhancement: 20-30 seconds.
Describe the size you need

Type your instruction: 'resize to 1080x1080 pixels' or 'make this smaller for email without losing quality.' You can specify exact pixels, a platform name, or just describe the use case.

Tip: Don't know exact dimensions? Just say the platform: 'resize for LinkedIn banner' or 'resize for Instagram post.' The AI knows standard dimensions for major platforms.

AI resizes the image to your specifications. Check that the composition still looks good and important details haven't been lost. If downscaling significantly, verify text and small details are still legible.

Photo resized for Instagram

A large camera photo was resized to perfect 1080x1080 Instagram dimensions while maintaining sharpness and color accuracy.

Prompt: resize this photo to 1080x1080 pixels for Instagram

If something looks off

Photo looks blurry after resizing

Why: Significant upscaling can introduce softness. Downscaling too aggressively can lose fine detail.

Try: Add 'and sharpen the result' to your resize prompt, or do a second pass: 'sharpen the details after resizing'

Try This →

Tip: For upscaling, 2x is the sweet spot. Beyond 3x, even AI upscaling struggles to maintain sharpness.

Aspect ratio changed and subject looks stretched

Why: Resizing to a different aspect ratio without cropping forces stretching or distortion.

Try: Say 'resize to 1080x1080 by cropping to fit, don't stretch' — this crops instead of distorting

Try This →

Tip: Always specify whether you want crop-to-fit or stretch-to-fit when changing aspect ratios.

File size is still too large after resizing

Why: The AI may have prioritized quality over file size compression.

Try: Be explicit: 'resize to maximum 800 pixels wide AND compress to under 200KB'

Try This →

Tip: For email or web, specifying both pixel dimensions and target file size gives the best results.

Text in the photo became unreadable

Why: Small text doesn't survive aggressive downscaling. The details get lost below a certain pixel threshold.

Try: Try a less aggressive resize: 'resize to 1200px wide instead of 600px, keep text readable'

Try This →

Tip: If your photo contains important text, keep the resize modest — below 50% reduction — or the text becomes illegible.

Colors look different after resizing

Why: Color profile changes can happen during resizing, especially when switching from print to web color spaces.

Try: Add: 'resize and preserve the original colors exactly, use sRGB color profile'

Try This →

Tip: For web use, sRGB is the standard color profile. For print, Adobe RGB or CMYK may be needed.

Quick answers

How do I resize a photo without losing quality?

Upload to EditThisPic and type your target size. The AI uses smart algorithms to maintain sharpness and detail during resizing. For downscaling, quality is perfectly preserved. For upscaling, AI enhancement fills in detail up to about 2-3x enlargement.

Can I resize a photo for free?

Yes! Upload your photo to EditThisPic, type the dimensions you need, and download the result. Free to try, no signup required, no watermarks on the output.

What dimensions should I use for social media?

Instagram post: 1080x1080 (square) or 1080x1350 (portrait). Instagram Story: 1080x1920. Facebook post: 1200x630. Twitter/X: 1200x675. LinkedIn post: 1200x627. YouTube thumbnail: 1280x720. Just mention the platform and the AI applies the right size.

Can I make a small photo bigger?

Yes, AI upscaling can enlarge photos while adding detail. Results are best at 2x enlargement, good at 3x, and start degrading beyond that. For very small images, try 'upscale to 2x and enhance sharpness.'

Does resizing change the file format?

By default, the output matches your input format. If you need a specific format, mention it: 'resize to 1080x1080 and save as PNG' or 'resize and convert to JPG for smaller file size.'

How is this different from cropping?

Resizing changes the overall dimensions of your entire photo — everything stays in frame but gets bigger or smaller. Cropping cuts away parts of the photo to improve framing. Often you'll want both: crop for composition, then resize for dimensions.
