Why resize an image?

When displaying or sharing an image online, we often need to resize the image to fit entirely on the viewer's screen or change the file size. In particular, it can be necessary to make the image smaller when sending it as an email attachment or posting on a website. Social platforms such as Facebook and Instagram with their limitations on image size aren't the exception in that regard as well.

Now it's important to understand how to resize the photo without losing quality. Technically, resizing changes underlying pixel information. For example, when a picture's width and height get smaller, any unnecessary pixel information will be removed. To enlarge the picture, the image resizer must add new pixels based on the original pixels, which results in blurry looking photos. Thus, the essence of picture resizing without losing quality is to capture the photo with the highest resolution and downsize it.

It's not unusual to resize an image. In fact, if you often work with images downloaded from the internet, you'll probably find yourself resizing them a lot.

Luckily, the ability to resize images is built into nearly every photo application around. This includes two of the most popular, which are installed on every Windows 10 PC from the start: Photos, and Microsoft Paint.

Note, however, that there's a difference between resizing an image to be smaller, and resizing it to be larger. Nearly every program, Photos and Paint included, can scale an image down without issue. However, if you use these programs to make an image larger, you might find that the image loses a lot of quality.

If you need to scale an image up (greater than 100% of the original size) without getting it pixelated and blurry, then you'll need to use a program like Adobe Photoshop that includes a smart resizing feature.

But if you need to scale an image down, or you're fine with losing image quality, here's how to use Windows' built-in image resizing tools.

4. If you picked custom dimensions, a menu will appear that lets you set exactly how big you want the image to be. You can also choose how high quality the resized image will be — higher quality pictures look better, but have a bigger file size.

If 'Maintain aspect ratio' is checked, then you only need to change either the height or width, and the other dimension will change automatically to match it.

Set your new dimensions, and then click 'Save resized copy.'

How to resize an image on Windows using Microsoft Paint

1. Start Paint, which you can usually find in the Start menu. If it's not there, you can type 'Paint' in the Start button search box and click it when it appears in the search results.

2. Open the photo you want to resize by clicking 'File,' then 'Open,' and selecting the image from your computer's files.

3. In the top menu bar's 'Home' tab, click 'Resize.' The 'Resize and Skew' window should appear.

4. Enter the size you want to resize the image to. You can set the size by percentage (i.e. '30 percent larger'), or click 'Pixels' and enter the exact dimensions you want. As long as you keep 'Maintain aspect ratio' checked, you only need to specify the horizontal or vertical dimension, and the other dimension will be set automatically.

5. Click 'OK' to make the change.

6. Save the new version of your image by clicking 'File' and then 'Save As.'
