How it works
Resizing is usually the better answer to "this file is too big". A 4000-pixel-wide phone photo displayed in a 800-pixel space is carrying five times more detail than anyone will see, and removing that detail costs nothing visible while cutting the file dramatically.
Aspect ratio is always preserved
You set a width; the height follows from the original proportions. That avoids the most common resizing mistake, which is stretching an image by setting both dimensions independently.
Resizing beats compressing, usually
Reducing dimensions removes detail that was never going to be visible at the display size. Compressing keeps the dimensions and degrades the detail that remains. If an image is going to be displayed small, resize first — it produces a better-looking result at the same file size.
Enlarging does not add detail
Setting a width larger than the original stretches the existing pixels. The file gets bigger and the image gets softer; no new detail appears. Resize down, not up.
Resize an image — questions
Will the image be stretched?
No. You set the width and the height is calculated from the original proportions, so the image keeps its shape.
What format do I get back?
PNG images stay PNG so transparency survives. Everything else comes back as JPG.
Can I make an image larger?
You can, but it will not add detail — enlarging stretches existing pixels and softens the result.
