Image resizer

Resize and compress an image without it ever leaving your machine. Free and no account. Nothing leaves your browser.

What it tells you

  • The file never leaves your machine

    Every other free resizer uploads to a server. This one uses your browser's canvas, so it works with the network disconnected.

  • Stepped downscaling

    Halves repeatedly rather than resizing in one jump, which is why small versions stay sharp instead of going soft.

  • WebP, JPEG or PNG

    With a quality slider, and the resulting file size shown before you download.

  • Preset sizes

    1200x630 for an OG image, 1600x900 for full width, 400x400 for a thumbnail.

  2. 2Set the sizeType dimensions or pick a preset. Aspect ratio is locked by default.
  3. 3Resize and downloadThe new file size is shown next to the original, with the percentage saved.

Questions people ask

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No, and that is the main reason to use this one. The file is read and processed by your own browser using the canvas API. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works, which is a test worth running if you handle anything under embargo.

What size should an OG image be?

1200 by 630 pixels. That is the ratio Facebook, LinkedIn and X all crop to, and it is the preset here. Anything smaller than 600 wide tends to be rendered as a small square thumbnail instead of a wide card.

WebP or JPEG?

WebP for anything on your own site: it is meaningfully smaller at the same visual quality and every current browser supports it. JPEG if the file is going somewhere you do not control, such as a directory submission form or an email.

Why does my resized image look soft in other tools?

Because most resize in a single step, and browsers sample rather than average when they do that. Halving repeatedly until close to the target preserves far more detail, which is what happens here.

This page is the argument for the offer. A small useful utility gets embedded and linked, and every embed is a link back. kiterank builds one for your audience and hosts it on your domain, so the links accrue to you rather than to us.
