Frequently Asked Questions

3 questions answered

What is 100×100 pixels used for?

100×100 is used for forum avatars, game profile pictures, small website thumbnails, app icons in some platforms, and developer icon sizes (Slack, GitHub, and Discord all display some icons at 100×100 or smaller).

Will my image look distorted at 100×100?

If your image is not square, yes — the tool will stretch it. Crop to a square first using the Crop tool. Once square, resizing to 100×100 will look natural.

Is PNG the right format for a 100×100 icon?

Yes. PNG is lossless and supports transparency, making it ideal for icons and avatars. At 100×100, a PNG file is typically only 5–30KB — very fast to load.
