Why use this tool
Output stays JPG
Every resized file is saved as JPG again, so it opens anywhere the original did, from email to older photo software.
Fewer pixels, lighter files
Taking a 4000 × 3000 photo down to 1600 × 1200 leaves about one sixth of the pixels, so the file shrinks considerably.
Upright, cleaner photos
Orientation is applied to the pixels, and EXIF data such as GPS location is left out of the new file.
Supported formats
Use cases
Email a set of phone photos
Twenty full-size phone photos can exceed attachment limits. Resizing them to 1600 px wide keeps them clear on screen and much lighter to send.
Online listings
Real estate and classifieds sites often reject very large JPGs or shrink them poorly. Upload photos already sized to the width the site displays.
Client previews
Make small JPG previews of a photo shoot for clients to browse, while the full-resolution originals stay untouched on your drive.
Technical details
JPG and JPEG are the same format; only the extension differs. JPG is lossy, so a resized photo is always re-encoded, and each re-encode discards a little information. Resizing once from the original gives a cleaner result than resizing an already-resized copy several times. Because JPG has no transparency, it suits photos rather than logos or graphics with see-through areas.
The new file has fewer pixels, which is the main reason it gets smaller. If you still need a lower file size after resizing, for example to meet a form's limit, use Compress to exact file size. Resized JPGs don't carry over EXIF metadata such as camera model, date taken or GPS, and colors are converted to sRGB, the color space browsers and most displays expect.

Frequently asked questions
Is JPEG the same as JPG?
Yes. JPG and JPEG are two extensions for the same format. Older versions of Windows limited extensions to three letters, which is where .jpg came from. This tool accepts both and treats them identically.
Will resizing a JPG make it blurry?
Shrinking a JPG keeps it sharp at the new size because Pixellin uses multi-step downscaling. Blur appears when you enlarge a small JPG, since no new detail can be created. Don't enlarge smaller images is on by default to prevent that.
Why is my resized JPG still large?
File size depends on both pixel count and how much detail the photo contains. A detailed landscape at 3000 px wide can still be several megabytes. Choose a smaller width, or run the result through a JPG compressor and lower its quality setting.
Does resizing remove GPS location from my photos?
Yes. Resized files don't keep EXIF metadata, so GPS coordinates, camera details and timestamps are not written to the new JPG. Your original file is not changed. The photo is rotated correctly before saving, so it stays upright.
Can I resize JPG files without changing the format?
Yes, that's what this page does. Input is JPG and output is JPG, so file names, viewers and upload forms that expect JPG keep working. If you want a different format, the general image resizer can save as PNG or WebP.
