How it works
Add your images
Drag and drop, paste, or pick files. They upload over an encrypted connection.
Pick a quality or a target size
Use the quality slider, or tell it exactly how many KB or MB you need.
Download
Save each file, or grab them all at once as a ZIP.
An iPhone photo is 4032 by 3024 pixels, and twice that in each direction in the 48-megapixel mode. Hardly any destination wants that much. A form asks for 1200 pixels at most, an email reads better with pictures at 1600, a profile wants 800 square. This page has Safari open the HEIC files, scales them to the size you type, and gives them back as JPG.
The output format deserves a plain word. We read HEIC and do not write it, so a resized photo cannot come back as HEIC. JPG is the starting format because it is what the places asking for a particular size also ask for; WebP, PNG and AVIF are in the Format menu. The photo's orientation is applied, and its location data is removed.
Twenty photos can be resized together without an account. Your browser opens them, uploads are encrypted, the resizing is done on our own servers, and the photos and results are deleted within one hour.
Which size for which purpose
For email and messaging, 1600 pixels on the long side is a good general choice: sharp on any screen, and a JPG of 300 to 500 KB. For a website, match the slot, commonly 1200 pixels wide for an article image. For an upload form, enter exactly what it states, and when it names both a width and a height in a shape your photo does not have, set the fit to Fill and crop.
For prints, switch the unit to Print and type the paper size. An iPhone photo has pixels to spare here: at 300 dots per inch its 4032 pixels cover 34 centimetres, so anything up to A4 needs no enlarging. Type one side only whenever you can, and the other follows the photo's own proportions.
What the iPhone can do by itself, and where it stops
The Mail app on the iPhone offers to shrink attached photos to Small, Medium or Large as you send them, and for a quick message that is all you need. It gives you three steps, no exact numbers, and nothing for a photo that has to be uploaded somewhere other than an email.
Use this page when the size is specified: a form that demands 600 by 800, a shop that wants 2000 pixels square, a set of thirty photos that should all come out at the same width with the same quality. You can also combine the resize with a file-size limit by switching to Target size, which Mail cannot do.
High-resolution modes change the arithmetic
Recent Pro models can save 48-megapixel HEIC files of 8064 by 6048 pixels. Safari on a Mac hands them over at full size; on an iPhone or iPad they arrive at roughly 4700 by 3500 pixels, the ceiling of the browser's drawing surface. Remember when you resize by percent that the starting point is larger than usual: 25 percent of the full file is still 2016 pixels wide. If your batch mixes 12- and 48-megapixel shots, set a width in pixels instead of a percentage, so that every photo arrives at the same size whatever it started as.
Enlarging is switched off by default. Reducing is what phone photos need, and a photo is never blown up unless you ask for it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get the resized photo back as HEIC?
No. This site reads HEIC and writes JPG, WebP, PNG and AVIF. JPG is the default because nearly every destination accepts it.
Will the resized photo be sideways?
No. The orientation stored by the iPhone is applied to the pixels before resizing.
How large is the JPG after resizing?
At 1600 pixels on the long side and the starting quality of 90, usually 400 to 700 KB. Lower the quality to 80 to roughly halve that.
Can I resize many HEIC photos to the same width?
Yes. Enter the width once and it applies to the whole batch; each photo keeps its own proportions.
Do I need to convert HEIC to JPG first?
No. Safari opens the HEIC and the conversion happens in the same step as the resize.
Is the location removed from the resized photos?
Yes, always, along with the other camera data. A HEIC passes through the browser first, which keeps only the picture.
Which devices can resize HEIC here?
A Mac with Safari, an iPhone or an iPad. Their browsers decode HEIC themselves. A Windows PC, a Linux machine or an Android phone cannot, whatever browser it runs, so resize the photos on the Apple device before moving them.
