Make an image 50% smaller, 25% of its size or twice as big without typing any pixel numbers. Move the slider, keep the proportions, download.

Pre-set for you: the resizer is in By percentage mode at 50%. Add an image, adjust the slider if you like, and press Resize image. To type exact pixels, open the full Image Resizer.

When percentage resizing is easier

Pixel sizes are perfect when a website demands an exact width. Often, though, you simply want a picture “half the size” for an email, a document or a chat, or you have photos of different sizes and want each one reduced by the same amount. Percentage scaling does exactly that: width and height shrink or grow together, so nothing is stretched.

How to resize an image by percentage

  1. Drop an image in the box above, or paste it with Ctrl+V.
  2. The By percentage mode is already selected at 50%. Drag the slider anywhere from 5% to 200%.
  3. Choose an output format if you want to change it, then press Resize image.
  4. The result shows the new pixel size and file size. Download it.

Halving the width and height leaves a quarter of the pixels, so a 50% resize usually cuts the file size by around two-thirds or more.

Tips

Frequently asked questions

Does 50% mean half the file size?

No, it means half the width and half the height. That leaves a quarter of the pixels, so the file usually becomes much smaller than half.

Can I resize several images by the same percentage?

Yes, one after another: the percentage you choose stays selected while you add the next image.

Is the original changed?

No. You download a new copy named with its new dimensions; your original file is untouched.
