In the PicMonkey editor, select the Resize tool in the Edits menu. Customize your image resize by choosing a preset size or entering your own dimensions.

4. Apply

Click Apply, and you’ve resized your image online! Download it, or share it directly to email or social media. If you ever need to touch up your photo (or resize again), it'll store in Hub (our cloud storage), ready and waiting for you next time!

Resize vs Crop: Which online tool do you need?

Use the Crop tool to cut areas from the image

PicMonkey's Crop tool lets you remove parts of your pic or video to hone in on preferred areas. Or, you can cut a square from a rectangle to change the shape and focal point.

Use the Resize tool to shrink or expand an image

Our Resize tool transforms your OG image or video while scaling it up or down. You can shrink or enlarge images to your heart's content for any purpose.
