Choose an owned image

Open a JPEG, PNG or WebP file within the tool limits. The selected file is processed in your browser; it is not uploaded for this resize operation.

Fit to the target canvas

Select a square, portrait, vertical or link-card canvas. The full image scales proportionally inside it with white padding where needed; this protects the subject instead of cropping silently.

Inspect and download the PNG

Review small text, margins and the main subject, then download the PNG. A 1600 × 900 image fitted to a square keeps its landscape composition with space above and below.

What to check in this workspace

A 1600 × 900 landscape image fitted to 1080 × 1080 becomes a 1080 × 607.5 proportional image before pixel rounding, leaving vertical padding. It is a fit operation, not a crop editor. Check small text after resizing.
