Achieve Perfect Sizing of Your Pics with These Six Windows 11 Tactics
Users often need to resize images to fit them better on websites, blogs, documents, or even within frames for printed output. Almost every general image-editing app for Windows has options for resizing pictures. Windows 11 also includes pre-installed apps you can utilize for resizing images to more ideal dimensions.
Here are some ways to resize images in Windows 11 with its pre-installed Microsoft apps and some third-party software alternatives.
1. How to Resize Images With Photos
Photos is primarily a default image viewer app that comes with Windows 11, but it does include some basic editing options. You can use that app to resize your images in pixels and percentage terms. These are the steps for resizing pictures with Photos:
- Open Photos by clicking Windows 11’s Start button and selecting that app’s pinned menu shortcut.
- ClickAll Photos to view your images.
- Right-click an image for resizing and selectOpen .
- Click theSee more (ellipses) button in the editing window that opens.
- Select theResize image option.
- Select thePixels option.
- Then input different pixel values in theWidth andHeight boxes. If you only modify one value, the other one will be automatically proportionally changed to retain the same aspect ratio.
- ClickSave to apply the resize.
Users who select the alternativePercentage option need to enter percentage values in theWidth andHeight boxes. Entering values like 80 and 90 will reduce the size of the image by 20 and 10 percent. Inputting higher numbers like 110 and 120 will increase the image’s size by 10 and 20 percent. Thus, the percentage size change amounts to how much the values are above or below 100.
TheResize box in Photos also includes aQuality bar setting. However, you can only use that setting for JPG output. Select the .jpg option in theFile extensio n drop-down menu. Then drag the bar’s slider left or right to set the picture quality in the resized image.
2. How to Resize Images With Paint
Microsoft Paint is the raster graphics app bundled with Windows 11. It’s a relatively basic drawing and image-editing software compared with the likes of PhotoShop. However, utilizing Paint is fine for basic stuff like resizing and cropping images. Our Paint guide to resizing and cropping images includes full instructions for how you can change your images’ dimensions with that app.
