1. Go to the Watermarkly website and click on the "Tools" tab at the top.
2. From the list of available editing tools, select "Resize Photos."
3. You will see the app’s window. Click the "Select Images" button and pick your files. As an option, you can also drag the necessary images from their folder and drop them into the app. One of Watermarkly’s benefits is that it allows you to import files from a couple of common cloud storages. You can upload any photo that is stored on such cloud storages as Google Drive, Google Photos, and Dropbox. Moreover, you can provide a link to the necessary image, and it will be imported into Watermarkly, so you’ll be able to resize it.
4. Specify the export settings. This is where you decide how to resize your image without losing quality. You can enter new pixel dimensions or resize your image by a certain number of percent. It's also possible to choose a new file format for resized images and tell the app to keep metadata, if necessary.
5. There are a couple of additional options that you can make use of. The Watermarkly's image resizer without losing quality also allows you to blur faces and blur license plates in photos.
6. Choose the parameters for changing the name after you resize a picture if necessary. Your resized images can be named differently. You can rename the files to "Image 1," "Image 2," and so on or add suffixes to the file names. You can leave the original names unchanged, if you want. The originals won’t be overwritten either way.
7. When you are done with the export settings, click the “Resize Images” button. The Watermarkly's image resizer without losing quality will process your files automatically. When the work is finished, download the results to your device or upload directly to one of the supported cloud storages.

With Watermarkly you don’t have to worry about either losing quality or losing original files. The app will automatically create copies and apply all the changes to them. The original images will remain unaltered, so you will be able to use them at any moment.

Why You Might Need to Resize Images Without Losing Quality

Resizing an image without losing quality might be beneficial to you for a number of reasons. Here are some of them:

1. Website Optimization. Reducing the size of images that you want to publish on your website is a must. The bigger the size of an image is, the slower it will load on a website. This is something you want to avoid. Otherwise, people won’t stay on your website for long.
2. Adaptation to different devices in graphic design. Different devices have different screen resolutions. Resizing images without losing quality allows you to adapt this type of visual content for mobile devices, tablets, and computers.
3. Printing. When preparing photos for printing, resizing is often needed to meet the specific requirements.
4. Profile and cover photos on social media. Different social media platforms have different size requirements for profile and cover pictures. If you want either of these to look good, you will need to resize your files. Learn more about how to resize a photo for Instagram.
5. Sending images via email. Nearly all email services have size limits for attachments. If you want to attach several images to a single letter, there’s a high chance that you will need to reduce their size.
6. Freeing some memory space. If you want to free up some space in your device’s memory, it might be a good idea to reduce the size of your images. Then you can move the high resolution originals to an external hard drive, while keeping the small-sized copies on your device in case you’ll need them.
7. Previews. Previews and thumbnails don’t really have to have a high resolution. So, if you need to post this type of visual content somewhere online, you can resize these images without losing quality.
8. Slideshows and videos. Videos and slideshows have their own resolutions. Thus, you might need to resize your images that you want to include in a video or a slideshow to fit into its resolution; otherwise, your images might look blurry and pixelated.
9. Consistency. Maybe you are working on a project that requires all of your images to be of the same size. This can be achieved with the help of resizing.

Resizing an image without quality loss allows you to meet any size requirements, while making sure that your visual content looks amazing.
