FAQs About Image Resizing

Will resizing reduce quality?

Downsizing generally maintains quality. Upscaling (making larger) will cause blurriness.

What's the best format for web?

WebP offers the best compression. JPEG is most compatible. PNG for transparency.

How do I resize without losing quality?

• Don't enlarge images
• Use PNG for lossless
• Keep JPEG quality above 80%

What happens to the aspect ratio?

When locked, changing width auto-adjusts height (and vice versa). Unlock to freely change dimensions.

Are my images uploaded to your servers?

No! All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

What's the maximum image size?

Browser memory limits apply, but most images up to 50MP work fine.

Can I resize GIFs?

Currently, GIFs are converted to static images. Animated GIF support coming soon.

Technical Details

Our image resizer uses the HTML5 Canvas API for client-side processing:

// How it works
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = newWidth;
canvas.height = newHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.drawImage(originalImage, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight);
const resizedImage = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', quality);
