How to Resize Images for Websites

Choose practical image dimensions, preserve aspect ratio, and avoid blurry or distorted website graphics.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Choose the display size

Determine how large the image will appear in the layout, including high-density screens where relevant.

2. Preserve proportions

Keep the aspect ratio locked unless you intentionally need a crop. Stretching width and height independently distorts images.

3. Export and test

Save the resized image and inspect it on mobile and desktop. Compare visual quality and file size before publishing.
