Using Adobe Photoshop on Mac or Windows, it\u2019s easy to resize a photo quickly and precisely. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>To get started, open Photoshop on Mac or Windows PC and load the image that you\u2019d like to resize. In the Photoshop menu bar, click \u201cImage,\u201d and then select \u201cImage Size\u201d from the menu that <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-728777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-size-photoshop.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select &quot;Image &gt; Image Size&quot; from Photoshop's menu bar.\" width=\"650\" height=\"319\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the \u201cImage Size\u201d window, first, you\u2019ll want to decide what measurement unit you\u2019ll use to resize the image. If you click the drop-down menu beside the \u201cWidth\u201d or \u201cHeight\u201d fields, you can choose the unit type. Here\u2019s what each choice means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Percent:<\/strong>\u00a0This lets you resize by a percent of the current image size. For example, using 50% as the target image size makes the image half of its current size. Likewise, 200% makes it twice as large.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pixels:<\/strong>\u00a0This lets you specify exact pixel dimensions for the resulting image size.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inches, Centimeters, Millimeters:<\/strong> These are standard measurement sizes that only apply when an image is printed, and they are related to the image\u2019s DPI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Points:<\/strong> A point is a unit of measurement common in typography that is equivalent to 1\/72nd of an inch. In a 72-DPI resolution image, one point is equal to one pixel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Picas:<\/strong>\u00a0One pica is equal to 1\/6th of an inch or 12 points, and it\u2019s used most frequently in design for print.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Columns:<\/strong> This lets you resize by the number of columns, an arbitrary unit defined in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/photoshop\/using\/specifying-columns-image.html\">Preferences &gt; Units &amp; Rulers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many people use \u201cPercent\u201d for eyeballing relative size changes, but if you\u2019re resizing images for the web, you\u2019ll probably want to choose \u201cPixels\u201d from the list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-728778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/size-unit-photoshop.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select a size unit on the &quot;Image Size&quot; window in Photoshop.\" width=\"650\" height=\"324\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Next, decide whether you want to keep the aspect ratio of the original image. The aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the two sides of the image (width and height).<\/p>\n<p>If you choose to keep the image\u2019s original aspect ratio, you only need to change the value of either \u201cWidth\u201d or \u201cHeight\u201d for your image. Photoshop will automatically change the value of the other field based on the existing ratio.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a>ly, you should keep the aspect ratio so that your photo doesn\u2019t look weird. But if you want to disable it, click the chain icon between \u201cWidth\u201d and \u201cHeight\u201d so that the little lines that point to \u201cWidth\u201d and \u201cHeight\u201d disappear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-728779\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/aspect-ratio-photoshop.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Keep or discard the aspect ratio on the &quot;Image Size&quot; window in Photoshop.\" width=\"650\" height=\"321\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now comes the part where you resize your photo. To change the width of your photo, click the \u201cWidth\u201d field and enter a new size. Similarly, to change the height of the photo, click the \u201cHeight\u201d field and enter a value.<\/p>\n<p>Then, click \u201cOK\u201d at the bottom of the \u201cImage Size\u201d window.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-728780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/resize-image-photoshop.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Resize a photo on the &quot;Image Size&quot; window in Photoshop.\" width=\"650\" height=\"322\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Your photo\u2019s resized version will now appear on your screen. If this looks good to you, click File &gt; Save in Photoshop\u2019s menu bar to save the photo.<\/p>\n<p>To save the resized photo as a copy (so that your original photo is not affected), click File &gt; Save As in the menu bar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-728781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/save-resized-photo-photoshop.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select &quot;File &gt; Save As&quot; on the Photoshop window.\" width=\"650\" height=\"403\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If you chose \u201cSave As,\u201d you will now see Photoshop\u2019s save window on your screen. At the top of this window, enter a name for your photo, and then select an image format from the \u201cFormat\u201d drop-down menu and click \u201cSave\u201d at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-729425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/save-prompt-photoshop1.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Enter photo details on Photoshop's &quot;Save As&quot; window.\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s it!
