Resize Facebook Profile Photo
Resize a profile photo to a square JPEG suitable for Facebook and other social profile uploads.
Choose an image
JPEG, PNG, or static WebP, up to 25 MB
Enter a size between 1 and 16,000 pixels.
Scaling happens in your browser with smoothing enabled, so edges stay clean when you reduce size. PNG output is lossless; JPG output uses the quality setting above.
Change image dimensions without uploading
Resizing sets the width and height in pixels, which changes how large the picture appears and how much data it stores. Enter exact pixels for a required size, or a percentage when you only want the image smaller.
- Choose a JPEG, PNG, or static WebP image up to 25 MB.
- Set a percentage, or enter a width and height with the aspect ratio locked.
- Pick JPG or PNG output and adjust the JPEG quality when needed.
- Generate, compare the before and after size, then download.
Making an image smaller reduces file size, while enlarging it adds pixels without adding detail. The browser scales the pixels locally, so the original file stays on your device. PNG output stays lossless; JPG output trades a little quality for a much smaller file.
Does resizing change the aspect ratio?
Only if you unlock the ratio and enter a width and height that do not match the original. With the lock on, both sides scale together so nothing is stretched.

Frequently asked questions
How do I resize an image?
Choose an image, enter a percentage or an exact width and height in pixels, pick JPG or PNG output, and generate. The resized file is created in your browser and downloaded straight to your device.
Does resizing reduce file size?
Usually. Fewer pixels means less data, so a downscaled photo is almost always smaller. Enlarging an image adds pixels without adding detail, so the file grows while the picture does not get sharper.
Will resizing stretch my photo?
Not while the aspect ratio lock is on. Both sides scale from the original shape, so proportions stay the same. Unlock the ratio only when a form or website requires an exact width and height.
What size should I choose?
Match the requirement of the place you are uploading to, or keep the long edge under 2,000 pixels for general web use. For a screen-only photo, halving both sides usually cuts the file size dramatically.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The browser draws the scaled image onto a canvas on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, and no copy is kept after you close the tab.
