How to Resize Images for a Website Without Distortion

Stretching images looks amateur. Resize by pixels or percentage without squashing your photos.

Never drag image corners in a CMS until you understand aspect ratio. Forcing a 4000×3000 photo into a 300×300 box without cropping causes squashing — faces look wide, products look wrong.

Resize methods

  • Exact width × height (may crop or letterbox depending on tool)
  • Scale by percentage (50% for retina @2x assets)
  • Preset dimensions for common layouts
