Image Resizing & Compression Guide
Understanding Image Resizing
Image resizing involves changing the dimensions of an image while maintaining or adjusting its quality. There are several key concepts to understand:
Aspect Ratio
The proportional relationship between an image's width and height. Maintaining aspect ratio prevents distortion.
Resolution
The number of pixels in an image. Higher resolution means more detail but larger file size.
Interpolation
The algorithm used to add or remove pixels when resizing. Different methods affect quality and sharpness.
Compression: Lossy vs Lossless
Image compression reduces file size while attempting to maintain visual quality. There are two main types:
| Feature | Lossy Compression | Lossless Compression |
|---|---|---|
| File Size Reduction | Significant (50-90%) | Moderate (10-50%) |
| Quality Loss | Permanent, irreversible | No quality loss |
| Best For | Photos, web images | Graphics, text, logos |
| Common Formats | JPG, WEBP, AVIF | PNG, GIF, BMP |

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between resizing and compression?
Resizing changes the physical dimensions (pixel count) of an image, while compression reduces file size by optimizing how image data is stored. You can resize without compressing, or compress without resizing.
Which format should I use for my website?
For photographs: WEBP or AVIF (with JPG fallback). For graphics with transparency: PNG or WEBP. For maximum compatibility: JPG for photos, PNG for graphics.
How does quality setting affect my images?
Quality settings control the compression level. Higher values preserve more detail but create larger files. For web use, 75-85% is typically optimal for JPG/WEBP.
Can I resize images without losing quality?
You can only maintain quality when downscaling (making images smaller). Upscaling always reduces quality as it involves creating new pixels through interpolation.
What is aspect ratio and why is it important?
Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between width and height. Maintaining it prevents distortion. Common ratios include 4:3, 16:9, and 1:1 (square).
How do I choose the right dimensions?
Consider your use case: Social media (1080px), web banners (1200px), mobile screens (750px), print (300 DPI). Always consider your target display size.
What are progressive JPEGs?
Progressive JPEGs load in multiple passes, showing a low-quality version first that gradually improves. This improves perceived loading speed for web images.
How much can I compress an image?
Compression depends on the image content. Simple graphics can be compressed heavily, while detailed photos need higher quality settings. Typical savings: 60-80% for web optimization.
