This tutorial will show you how to resize an image in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
You can use the built-in Paint and Photos apps to resize an image by percentage or pixels.
Paint also allows you resize an image with or without maintaining the aspect ratio. Resizing an image without maintaining the aspect ratio could cause the image to become distorted though.
1 Open the image you want to resize in the Paint app.
2 Click/tap on the Resize and skew button (Ctrl+W) in the Ribbon "Image" tools area. (see screenshot below)
3 Select (dot) Percentage or Pixels for how you want to resize the image. (see screenshots below step 6)
4 Click/tap on the Maintain aspect ratio button to turn it on (highlighted) or off. (see screenshots below step 6)
5 Enter the Horizontal (width) and/or Vertical (height) percentage/pixels you want to resize the image by. (see screenshots below step 6)
6 Click/tap on OK when finished. (see screenshots below)
7 Click/tap on File on the menu bar, and click/tap on Save or Save as to save your changes. (see screenshot below)
8 You can now close the Paint app if you like.
1 Open the image you want to resize in the Photos app.
2 Click/tap on the See more (3 dots) button on the toolbar, and click/tap on Resize image. (see screenshot below)
3 Select (dot) Percentage or Pixels for how you want to resize the image. (see screenshots below step 5)
4 Enter the Width (horizontal) and/or Height (vertical) percentage/pixels you want to resize the image by. (see screenshots below step 5)
5 Click/tap on Save when finished to save your changes. (see screenshots below)
6 You can now close the Photos app if you like.
That's it,
