How to resize images on Windows 10

How to resize images on Windows 10

October 6, 2021
When you resize an image, you can keep everything in it while reducing the pixel size. If the image’s size has been reduced, it will be smaller on disk, and if the pixel size has been increased, it will be larger on disk. The image quality is reduced in both cases, but no part of it is lost.

Resize images on Windows 10

On Windows 10, you’ll need to use an app to resize an image. The stock Photos app in Windows 10 can be used to resize images, but the process is extremely time-consuming. It’s preferable to use a program like PowerToys.

1. Resize image with Photos

While resizing an image with the stock Photos app is tedious, the fact remains that this app is already installed and ready to use on your system.

  1. Open the photo you want to resize in the Photos app.
  2. Click the more options (three dots) button at the top right.
  3. Select ‘Resize’.

  1. In the pop-up that opens, select ‘Define custom dimensions’.
  2. Enter the new size for the image.
  3. Make sure the ‘Maintain aspect ratio’ option is enabled or the image will be distorted.
  4. Click ‘Save resized copy’.

2. Resize image with PowerToys

Users can use PowerToys to create multiple size presets and resize images using the context menu.

  1. Download and install PowerToys.
  2. Open PowerToys with admin rights.
  3. Go to the app’s settings.
  4. Select the Image Resizer tab, and turn the switch for the feature On.
  5. Add a preset; click Add size.
  6. Enter a width for the image, set it to ‘Fill’, and leave the height blank to get a proportionately resized image.

  1. Close PowerToys to the system tray.
  2. Right-click an image, and select Resize pictures from the context menu.
  3. Select a size preset in the window that opens.
  4. Click ‘Resize’.
  5. A copy of the image will be saved where the original image is. If you want to resize the original image (not save a resized copy), select the ‘Resize original pictures’ option.

Users can select multiple images and resize them all at the same time.

Conclusion

In the form of Photos, Windows 10 has a decent photo/picture editing app, but it prioritizes features over usability. Its user interface isn’t intuitive, and the majority of its features are hidden or obscure. PowerToys is the better, more convenient option for quick resizing. If you don’t like PowerToys, you can try IrfanView, though it doesn’t support context menu resizing.
