Resize an image to exact dimensions

Keep the proportions or set both sides

With Keep aspect ratio on, PixMino calculates the other side from the original proportions and rounds it to whole pixels. A 4032 × 3024 photo resized to 800 px wide becomes 800 × 600.

Turn it off when you need exact dimensions such as 1080 × 1080. When the new shape differs from the original, you choose what happens:

• Crop: fills the size and trims the edges, keeping the centre.
• Fit on background: keeps the whole image and fills the rest with a colour you pick.
• Stretch: fills the size exactly, distorting the shapes.

Making images smaller

Halving the width and height leaves a quarter of the pixels, and the file usually shrinks by a similar share. For images shown at small sizes, such as thumbnails or product photos, that's often the most effective way to save space.

PixMino reduces large images in stages, which keeps edges and fine detail smoother than one big jump.

Making images larger

You can enter dimensions larger than the original, but enlarging can't add detail that isn't there, so the image will look softer. PixMino points this out when you do it.

The largest image PixMino creates is 16,384 pixels per side. On iPhone and iPad the browser allows less: about 16.7 megapixels in total.
