Resizing Modes and Presets

Pixel and percentage resizing, built-in presets, custom sizes, and JPEG quality tuning in Resizo.

Resizing Modes

Resizo provides flexible controls for tailoring output resolution:

1. Pixel Dimensions

  • Fixed Width: specify width (e.g. 1200 px); height scales automatically preserving the aspect ratio.
  • Fixed Height: specify height (e.g. 800 px); width scales proportionally.
  • Bounding Box (Both Dimensions): specify maximum width and height bounds (e.g. 1920×1080 px). Resizo scales images to fit neatly inside the boundary without distortion or cropping.
  • Ignore Aspect Ratio: optionally force arbitrary dimensions when needed.

2. Percentage Scaling

Scale from 5% up to 300% relative to the original resolution, ideal for halving or downsizing large image sets without calculating individual pixel targets.


Ready-to-Use & Custom Presets

Resizo ships with four pre-configured profiles:

  • Web (1920 px): optimized for desktop monitors, blog articles, and web presentation.
  • Social (1080 px): standard dimensions for Instagram, LinkedIn, and social media feeds.
  • Email (800 px): lightweight resolutions for rapid email transmission.
  • Icon (512×512 px): square format for avatars, logos, and application assets.

Custom Presets

Via Manage Presets, save your preferred width, height, format, and quality parameters under custom labels (e.g. E-commerce Catalog, Thumbnail Grid).


Formats and Quality Tuning

  • Keep Original Format: updates dimensions while retaining the native container format.
  • Convert to JPEG: tune compression via the quality slider (50% to 100%). A setting between 80% and 85% delivers substantial size reduction with pristine visual clarity.
  • Convert to PNG: preserves original alpha transparency for logos, vector graphics, and screenshots.
