1Upload the JPEG images you want resized — work from the largest original you have rather than from a copy you already shrank once.
2Type a target width, a target height or a percentage, and leave the aspect-ratio lock on unless you deliberately want stretching.
3Run the resize; every file in the batch is taken to the same target in a single pass.
4Download the resized JPEG file, or the whole set together as one archive.
Resize JPEG FAQ
What dimensions should I actually target?
+
Match the slot it will live in. A full-width web hero rarely needs more than 1920 pixels wide, a content image 1200, a thumbnail 400, and doubling those numbers covers high-DPI screens. Anything beyond that is bytes nobody sees.
Can I keep the aspect ratio, or force exact dimensions?
+
Both. Lock the ratio and one dimension is derived from the other, which is what you want almost always. Unlock it and you get exactly the numbers you typed, at the cost of stretching — useful for a fixed slot, wrong for a photograph.
Does the source format affect the result of a resize?
+
It does. JPEG is the same codec as JPG under a longer extension — identical DCT pipeline, identical quantisation tables, nothing about the pixels changes with the filename. That is what decides whether shrinking the file is purely a question of pixels or also a question of re-encoding.
Is there anything specific to JPEG I should watch for?
+
Yes — the .jpeg and .jpg extensions are the same bitstream, so nothing here behaves differently from a .jpg — only the filename changes. Worth checking before you resize a file you will not be able to regenerate.
Will Resize JPEG lower the quality of my JPEG images?
+
A lossy source is already the result of one quantisation pass, and any operation that has to re-encode adds a second. Where the job can be done without touching the pixel data we do that instead, and where it cannot you choose the quality factor yourself rather than getting a fixed default.
Can I run Resize JPEG on several JPEG images at once?
+
Yes. Drop the whole set into the upload area and they queue in parallel with identical settings — that is the main reason to do this in a browser rather than one file at a time in an editor. Free accounts run one file per batch; a pass lifts that.
What happens to EXIF and colour profile data?
+
Camera EXIF (ISO, shutter, lens, GPS) and the embedded ICC profile are carried across by default, because dropping the profile is what makes colours shift on re-import. Use the privacy option to strip metadata before download if you are about to publish the file.
Does Resize JPEG cost anything?
+
No. Resize JPEG is free with no account, no watermark on the output and no signup wall in front of the download. Uploads are deleted automatically a short time after the job finishes.
Why does a WebM site host Resize JPEG?
+
WEBM.to is built around the container the open web actually chose — VP9 or AV1 with Opus audio, decoded natively by every modern browser and needing no plugin, licence or player. Video is the case where extra round trips hurt most — the files are large and every upload costs real minutes. Running Resize JPEG on the same pipeline as the conversions means one upload covers the whole job instead of one upload per tool.
What should I do with the result once Resize JPEG is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves video between WebM, MP4, MKV, MOV and the rest, or pulls the soundtrack out entirely, without another upload. Sequencing it that way matters more for video than anywhere else: each re-encode is another generation, so the fewer of them stand between the source and the file you publish, the better it looks.
Is Resize JPEG here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same ffmpeg build with x264, x265 and libvpx, the same workers, the same limits. What a WebM site adds is a view on containers and codecs: which combinations play everywhere, which need a re-encode and which can simply be copied across. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: WebM is VP9 or AV1 with Opus audio, which browsers decode natively but which most desktop editors still transcode on import.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploaded video is deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, nothing is watched and nothing is indexed. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
