Working

What it does

Changes the size and framing of an image. Resize it to exact pixels or by a percentage, crop it freely or to a fixed ratio by dragging a frame, rotate it a quarter turn at a time, and flip it. The original and resulting dimensions are shown as you work.

You can load several images at once. The resize settings and the crop ratio apply to all of them. Rotating, flipping and where the crop frame sits belong to the image you have selected. Choosing a different ratio starts every frame again, centred. Choosing Free keeps a frame you have moved and otherwise takes in the whole picture.

How to use it

  1. Choose images, drop them onto the page, or paste one from the clipboard.
  2. To crop, pick Free or a ratio, then drag the frame on the picture. Drag inside it to move it and drag its handles to resize it. With the keyboard, focus the frame: arrow keys move it, and Shift with an arrow key resizes it.
  3. To resize, choose Pixels and type a width or a height, or choose Percent.
  4. Use Rotate and Flip if the picture is the wrong way round.
  5. Press Download, or Download all as zip for several images.

The Send to buttons pass the selected image’s result to another tool, to compress it or change its format, without saving it first.

Questions

How do I resize without stretching the picture?

Leave "Keep shape" ticked. Type either the width or the height and the other side is worked out to match, so the picture keeps its proportions. Untick it only when you need an exact width and height and do not mind the picture being squashed.

How do I crop to a square, or to 16:9?

Choose the ratio beside "Crop". A frame of that shape appears over each picture, as large as it can be and centred, including pictures you add afterwards. Drag it to choose which part to keep, and drag a corner to make it smaller. The frame keeps its shape while you do.

Can I make an image larger?

Yes, by typing a larger size or a percentage above 100. The picture will look softer, because the extra pixels are estimated from the ones that exist. Enlarging cannot add detail that was never there.

In what order are the changes applied?

Rotate and flip first, then crop, then resize. So the crop frame is drawn on the picture as you see it after turning it, and the size you type is the size of the cropped result.

What format is the result?

The same as the original where possible: a JPEG stays a JPEG and a PNG stays a PNG. A HEIC photo is saved as a JPEG and a GIF as a PNG. To choose a different format, send the result to Convert image.
