Frequently Asked Questions

What is aspect ratio and why does it matter? ▼
Aspect ratio is the relationship between width and height. Locking it prevents image distortion. For example, a 4:3 image resized to 800px width should be 600px height.
Will resizing reduce image quality? ▼
Reducing dimensions (downsizing) maintains quality. Increasing dimensions (upsizing) may cause pixelation. Always start with the highest resolution image available.
What resolution do I need for web vs print? ▼
Web images typically need 72-150 DPI at display size. Print requires 300 DPI. A 1000px image at 300 DPI prints at about 3.3 inches.
Can I resize multiple images at once? ▼
Some image resizers support batch processing. This is useful when you need many images at the same size, like product photos or gallery images.
