PHOTO NOTES
Resize a batch of photos without stretching them
Choose fit, centred crop or padding and understand how each affects dimensions.
Start with the destination
Check the required width, height, aspect ratio, allowed formats and file-size limit. These are separate requirements. The square, portrait, landscape, vertical, website and email presets are convenient starting dimensions, not a promise that a particular platform will accept every export. Keep your original photos.
Fit when the entire picture matters
Open Batch Resize and choose your images. Fit keeps the original proportions within your chosen width and height. A landscape image and a portrait image will have different output dimensions. Neither is stretched and there is no extra border. Enlargement is off by default, so small originals can stay smaller than the box.
Crop to fill for exact dimensions
Crop to fill produces the requested dimensions by trimming a centred section. Check subjects near edges: a centred crop may cut off a face or text. If an original is too small to fill the box, processing reports the problem unless you explicitly enable enlargement. Use Crop & Resize instead when you need individual control over framing.
Pad when you need the whole image at an exact size
Pad keeps the photo inside an exact-size canvas and fills the surrounding area. PNG and WebP can use transparent padding; JPG uses the selected padding colour. Turn transparency off to choose a solid background in other formats. Padding preserves proportions and avoids cropping, though the border becomes part of the exported image.
Review and continue
Process the batch, inspect actual dimensions and switch between original and result. Download individual files or a ZIP. Continue editing can send one result to Compress Photo, Watermark Photo or another tool in browser memory. If repeated editing is needed, PNG avoids repeated JPEG compression at the cost of larger files. All normal file and pixel limits still apply.
