  • 75%
    Light reduction, good default for photos.
  • 50%
    Strong reduction: halves width & height.
  • 25%
    Very large reduction, ideal for quick web previews.
  • 200%
    Enlarges the image. Can look softer — enable prevent upscale for safe results.

Fast tip

If your goal is “make it smaller”, start with 75%, then try 50%. If your goal is “same look but lighter exports”, export as WebP or JPGand adjust quality.

Resize Photos Without Stretching

Percentage resizing keeps width and height in the same proportion, so the photo scales down without distortion. Use 50% to make image half size, 75% for a lighter reduction, or 25% for preview-sized exports.

Percentage Resize vs Pixel Resize

Use percentage resize when you want every image scaled by the same amount. Use pixel resize when the final width or height must match an exact requirement.
