Step-by-Step Guide
5 steps · takes under 1 minute
Open the Image Resizer
Navigate to the Resize tool. It uses the browser's Canvas API — no plugins or software required.
Upload your image
Drop in your JPG, PNG, or WebP file. The tool displays the current pixel dimensions so you know exactly what you're starting with.
Enter the target dimensions
Type in your target width and height in pixels, or choose a percentage scale (e.g. 50% = half the size). Lock the aspect ratio to avoid distortion.
Choose the resize mode
Scale to fit, crop to fill, or stretch to exact dimensions — depending on whether aspect ratio matters for your use case.
Download the resized image
Click download. The output format matches your input (JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG).
100% Private — Zero Uploads
ImgToolkit runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never sent to a server, never stored in the cloud, and never seen by anyone else. This makes it safe for sensitive documents, client work, medical imagery, and confidential screenshots.
Pro tip
Use 75–85% quality for web images — you get 60–80% smaller files with no visible difference at normal screen sizes.
