Compressing reduces the file size without changing the dimensions. For the smallest possible file, do both: resize first to cut dimensions, then compress to reduce quality data.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I Resize Without Losing Quality?<\/h2>\n<p>When scaling down, quality is generally preserved well. When enlarging, some blurriness is inevitable since you&#8217;re creating pixels that didn&#8217;t exist. For best results, avoid enlarging images more than 150\u2013200% of the original size.<\/p>\n<h2>Does It Keep the Aspect Ratio?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes \u2014 by default the aspect ratio is locked so your image won&#8217;t look stretched. You can unlock it if you need a custom width and height that differs from the original proportions.<\/p>\n<h2>What Formats Are Supported?<\/h2>\n<p>JPG, PNG, and WebP. The output is saved in the same format as your original file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need to shrink a photo for a website, or scale up a graphic for print?
