On at least one occasion it has happened to us that we want to send an image by mail or through one of the social media platforms. What’s going on? We cannot send it due to very high resolution or large file size.
Almost all platforms have a maximum weight limit on file transfers. Because we understand your problem, we find and offer your solution. Also, today we will teach you how to resize images without damaging their quality and online.
In other cases, the image consists of a very small resolution, where it is barely distinguishable what type of photo it is. Either because the image is old and you have to restore it, of poor quality or has a great sentimental value, what you want is to enlarge it to a higher resolution, but without losing quality.
Is it possible to resize small images?
This is something that is not so easy to achieve, since when resizing the image from small to large the image will always lose or its composition will be modified (in most cases negatively).
However, nowadays various tools and applications (such as Photoshop) have been developed that give us the ability to resize and enlarge an image while preserving quality.
Although they probably don’t do it 100%, they do their job very well. In most cases the loss of quality is hardly noticeable. Even in some of these online tools you may notice that the image has improved.
It should be noted that nowadays there are also tools to resize images via offline. Although they may not perform in the same way that online tools do.
Online platforms to resize images
To access these tools to modify the dimensions of the images, just a search in Google is enough, and this search engine will offer you the different platforms that offer these services.
Among the web portals that allow images to be resized (accepting practically all types of formats) are: resizeyourimage.com, picrezise.com, iloveimg.com and resizeimage.net.
How to resize images?
The process to modify the dimensions of the images is very simple. On their platforms you will see a button with the option to ” Browse “, ” Upload image ” or ” Choose file “. Click on it to access your browser and find the image you want to resize.
It is important to mention that you are going to resize one or several images at the same time, these images must be stored on your computer or smartphone. If the image you want to resize is on a website, you’ll need to download it first. If the image is not on your device, the web tool will not be able to access the image you want to modify.
Edit the images
In particular, each tool (whether offline or online) has its own characteristic image editor, with different ways and options to modify images. In some it is necessary to click and drag a box or simply use a slider to modify the final scale.
Similarly, you can find different editing panels where you can establish exact measurements for the dimensions of the images.
Adjusts the compression level
Some of these web tools allow you to configure for yourself how much the image will be compressed. This is mostly for high resolution and size images. If you try to compress an image too much, its size will certainly be reduced. However, its quality will too.
Although not all web portals come with this tool, the best ones have it. Configure it to your liking and proceed to accept the compression level.
Once you have configured the new dimensions of the image, you can proceed to download the image. The platform will show a button indicating advance or download the new image. You can also preview the new resized image.
Download the new image
When downloading the image, it is recommended that you save it without replacing the original file. Since, if for any reason you are not satisfied with the changes made, you can get rid of the new photo and keep the original. This way, you can repeat the process over and over again until you get the results you expect.
