Image Resizer

Set exact dimensions, or fit an image inside a boundary while keeping its proportions. Local, free, and instant - There is no model involved and no reason for there to be.

Fit versus exact

Two modes, and picking the wrong one distorts your artwork.

Which mode to use
ModeWhat it doesUse when
FitKeeps proportions, fits inside your boxAlmost always
ExactForces dimensions, distorts if the ratio differsYou know the ratio matches

Resize down, not up

Reducing size discards information cleanly and looks fine. Enlarging here just stretches pixels.

  • Shrinking is lossless-looking and safe.
  • Stretching produces a soft, mushy result.
  • To make an image genuinely bigger, use the upscaler, which rebuilds linework rather than stretching it.

Where it sits in a workflow

Resize at the very end, after every edit is settled, and before compressing for upload. Resizing a finished piece costs nothing, so there is no reason to do it early.

Worked example: fitting artwork to a platform's maximum

The exact instruction

no prompt needed - Set the target box and choose Fit

What comes back

Fit keeps the proportions and places the image inside your box. Exact forces the numbers and will stretch the picture if the ratio does not match, which is almost never what you want.

Common questions

Does this cost credits?

No. It runs without a model, so it is free.

Should I use this to enlarge an image?

No. Use Anime Upscaler, which rebuilds linework instead of stretching pixels.

Will it distort my image?

Only in Exact mode with a mismatched ratio. Fit mode never distorts.
