Why resize by percentage?
Percentage scaling is the simplest way to shrink an image: 50% halves the width and height (a quarter of the pixels), 25% quarters it, and so on. This free tool scales any JPG, PNG or WEBP with a single slider, using high-quality smoothing so the result stays crisp.
It is perfect when you want the image 'about half the size' without thinking about pixels or kilobytes — for emailing a photo, making a thumbnail, or preparing images for a document.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 50% resize mean?
The image becomes half as wide and half as tall — a quarter of the total pixels — so the file usually shrinks to about a quarter of its original size.
What does resizing by percentage mean?
The image is scaled to a percentage of its original size. 50% makes it half as wide and half as tall (a quarter of the total pixels), while 25% makes it a quarter of the original dimensions.
What percentage should I use?
For email and web use, 50% is usually a good starting point. For thumbnails, 25% works well. Photos are often 4000+ pixels wide, so 50% still leaves a large, sharp image.
Will the image look blurry after scaling?
Scaling down with high-quality smoothing looks crisp in almost all cases. If you enlarge beyond 100%, the image will look soft because no new detail can be added.
Does percentage resizing reduce file size?
Yes — the file size drops dramatically because there are far fewer pixels. A 50% resize typically shrinks the file to about a quarter of its original size.
