Advanced Features and Techniques

Aspect Ratio Control

Our Image Resizer offers sophisticated aspect ratio controls:

Tips for Perfect Image Resizing

Understanding Resolution vs. Dimensions

Key concepts to remember:

• Dimensions refer to the width and height in pixels
• Resolution refers to pixel density (DPI/PPI)
• Web images typically use 72 DPI
• Print images typically require 300 DPI or higher

Understanding these differences helps you choose the right settings for your specific use case.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Watch out for these common mistakes:

• Enlarging small images beyond their original dimensions (causes pixelation)
• Ignoring aspect ratio (causes distortion)
• Using the wrong file format for your needs
• Over-compressing images and losing quality

Our tool helps you avoid these issues with intelligent defaults and clear visual feedback.

Best Practices for Different Image Types

Optimize your workflow based on image type:

• Photographs: Maintain aspect ratio, use JPG format
• Graphics/Logos: Use PNG format to preserve transparency
• Screenshots: Crop to relevant areas before resizing
• Artwork: Use higher quality settings to preserve details
