Resize, crop and edit images
Change a picture's size or shape, put something on it, or build one picture from several. Each tool does one job and shows the result before you download.
Plain jobs, one at a time
Editing here means the plain jobs that come up every week: this picture is too big, it is the wrong shape, it needs a name on it, or these four need to be one. There is no layers panel and nothing to learn. Each page takes a picture, does one thing to it and gives it back.
Sizes can be given in the unit you were given. A website asks for pixels, a print shop for centimetres or inches, a form for a size and a resolution together, and the resizers take any of them and work out the rest. A size in centimetres only becomes pixels through a DPI, so those pages ask for one and save it in the file.
None of these tools guesses at what is in a picture. A crop box, a circle or a freehand outline is placed by you, text and logos go to one of nine positions, and nothing finds a face or a subject by itself. What the preview shows is what the download contains.
Resize
Set a new size in pixels or percent, or in the physical units a printer or a form uses. The fixed-size pages crop to the shape as well, so the picture is never stretched.
Image Resizer
Type the width you need, keep the aspect ratio locked, and download.
Resize Image in CM
Forms and printers ask for sizes in centimetres, and image files are measured in pixels.
Resize Image in MM
Passport rules, ID card templates and print specifications give sizes in millimetres.
Resize Image in Inches
Print sizes in the United States are given in inches: 2 × 2 for a passport photo, 4 × 6 for a snapshot, 8…
Resize Image to A4 Size
A4 is 210 by 297 millimetres, which is 2480 by 3508 pixels at 300 DPI.
Resize Image to 3×4 Inch
A 3 by 4 inch print needs 900 by 1200 pixels at 300 DPI.
Resize Image to 4×6 Inch
Four by six inches, also called 4R, is the standard photo print.
WhatsApp DP Resizer
WhatsApp makes every profile picture square, so a tall or wide photo loses its edges.
Crop, rotate and reshape
Cut a picture down to the part you want, turn it, mirror it, or give it more room around the edge.
Image Cropper
Drag the corners of the selection box, lock it to a ratio if you need one, and export the crop at full or…

Image Rotator
Quarter-turn buttons for sideways photos, plus a free-angle slider for straightening a tilted horizon.
Image Flipper
Mirror left-to-right, top-to-bottom, or both at once.
Zoom Out Image
Shrink a picture inside its own frame, as if the camera had stepped back.
Add text, a logo, a border or a background
Put a caption, a mark or a frame on a picture, or change what is behind it. Sizes follow the picture, so one setting looks the same on a small image and a large one.
Add Text to Image
Type a caption, a label or a short message and place it on a picture.
Add Logo to Image
Choose a photo and a logo, and place the logo in a corner, along an edge or in the centre.

Guides that go with these tools
Longer articles on the decisions behind them.
What DPI means for an image
DPI is the most misunderstood number attached to a picture. It adds no detail and removes none. It is an instruction about printing, and one line of arithmetic explains everything a form or a print shop means by it.

Every platform crops uploads to its own ratio. Pre-sizing means you decide what stays in frame instead of an algorithm deciding for you.

Photo requirements are specified in millimetres, judged by a human, and change without notice. This is what the numbers mean, how they convert to pixels, and why photos get rejected.

How do I resize an image without stretching it?
Keep the ratio lock on in the Image Resizer and change only the width or only the height; the other follows. If the new size has a different shape from the picture, crop it to that shape first, or use one of the fixed-size pages, which do both steps together.
What is the difference between resizing and cropping?
Resizing keeps the whole picture and changes how many pixels it has. Cropping throws away the outside of the picture and keeps the rest as it was. Fitting a picture to an exact size usually needs both: crop to the shape, then resize.
Can these tools make a small image larger without blurring it?
They can make it larger, and it will look softer. Enlarging here is ordinary interpolation, which spreads the existing pixels over more space and invents no detail. For print, start from the largest original you have.
Does editing a photo here remove its EXIF data?
Yes. These tools draw the picture and save it as a new file, and the camera details, date and location stored in the original are not copied across. To change those fields and leave the picture untouched, use the EXIF Editor.
