Change Image Aspect Ratio
Adjust your image's dimensions by changing its aspect ratio. Select from common ratios such as 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or custom options. Choose to fit the image within new dimensions while preserving proportions or stretch it to fill the space. This helps create thumbnails, social media posts, or adapt images for specific layouts. For example, converting a portrait photo to a landscape format for a website banner using 16:9 ratio involves selecting fit to maintain visibility or stretch to fill the area completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have a square image and want to make it wider for a YouTube video. How do I do that?
Select the 16:9 aspect ratio. Choose 'stretch' if you want the image to fill the entire new area, or 'fit' to keep the original image visible with some empty space around it.
What's the difference between 'fit' and 'stretch'?
When you choose 'fit', the image will be resized to the new aspect ratio, maintaining its original proportions. This might leave some blank space (a white border) around the image. 'Stretch' fills the entire new area, potentially distorting the image's proportions.
I'm creating a social media post and need a vertical (portrait) image. What aspect ratio should I use?
For a vertical format, choose either 9:16 or 21:9. 'Fit' will ensure your entire image is visible, while 'stretch' will fill the dimensions completely.
Can I use this tool to create thumbnails for my online store?
Absolutely! Common thumbnail aspect ratios like 4:3 or 16:9 are available. Experiment with 'fit' and 'stretch' to find the look you prefer for your product images.
I want to change a landscape photo to a square format for an avatar. What settings should I use?
Select the 1:1 aspect ratio. If you want to maintain the original composition, choose 'fit'. If you prefer a filled square, choose 'stretch'.
