Follow these simple steps to get started.
Upload Your Image
Choose a PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP from your device. Zight loads a preview and reads the original size.
Automatic Resizing
Select a target width or height or pick a percentage. Keep aspect ratio on for proportional resizing or turn it off for exact fit.
Download Resized Image
Preview the result, then download the resized image in your preferred format for use in apps, slides, or websites.
Choosing Dimensions and Formats
Set Dimensions
Enter a specific width or height to reach an exact pixel size. This is best for UI assets, email images, or marketplaces that require fixed dimensions.
When to Change Format
Keep JPG for photos. Use PNG for transparency or sharp UI graphics. Choose WebP for smaller files with good quality. Use GIF if you need a simple animation.
Image Optimization and Quality
Zight resamples images to preserve clarity while avoiding artifacts. You can keep aspect ratio, change format, and apply quality settings when available. For the sharpest results, downsize in one step and avoid repeatedly saving the same file at lower quality.

Ultimate Guide: How to Resize Images the Right Way
Learn how to resize images quickly and keep quality high using Zight’s free Image Resizer. Whether you need exact pixels or a simple scale down, this guide explains what to choose and why it matters.
Upload Your Image
Open the Image Resizer and add a PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP. Zight shows the original width and height so you know your starting point.
Choose Dimensions or Percentage
If you have a required size, type a target width or height. Aspect ratio lock keeps the other value in sync. If you only need a smaller or larger version, pick a percentage to scale proportionally without calculating pixels.
Preview and Export
Review the preview to confirm sharpness and framing. Select an output format, then export the resized image. For transparent graphics, keep PNG. For photos, JPG or WebP is usually smaller.
Why Resizing Matters
Correct sizing improves load time, layout stability, and visual clarity. Oversized images slow pages and emails. Undersized images look blurry on high density screens. Right sizing hits the balance between speed and quality.
Conclusion
Zight’s Image Resizer makes changing image dimensions fast and reliable. Upload a file, choose pixels or percentage, preview the result, and export in the right format for web, email, or slides. The process is quick, accurate, and private.
