The Right Way to Resize PNG

When it comes to changing pixel dimensions of your PNGs, our app can be a great helper. It will make the entire resizing process much easier and more convenient. All your graphics, logos, screenshots and other kinds of images can look crisp and clear, but only if resizing PNG is done correctly.

You should avoid downsizing or upscaling an image excessively – this will inevitably lead to the degradation of image quality. Never neglect the aspect ratio, otherwise your image will get stretched, squished or distorted in some other way. In other words, either your new pixel dimensions should match the original aspect ratio, or the aspect ratio needs to be changed to match the new pixel dimensions. Keeping both of these things in mind will help you get amazing-looking images. Plus, Watermarkly’s PNG resizer will do its best to maintain high image quality.

Do you want to know how resizing PNG affects image quality? Let’s take a look at these examples!

Example #1. Here’s the original PNG image that has the size of 711 x 720 px.

And this is the resized PNG to 300 x 304 px.

As you can see, Watermarkly’s PNG resizer maintained excellent quality. There’s no distortion because new pixel dimensions match the original aspect ratio.

Example #2. Original logo with the size 200 x 200 px.

The logo’s pixel dimensions after resizing PNG : 400 x 400 px.

This example clearly demonstrates another advantage of our PNG resizer. The lines in the resized PNG look sharper and clearer than in the original. Usually, when you make an image bigger, it can get quite blurry and pixelated. But with Watermarkly, you’ll get a different result. You see, our resizer adds pixels and sharpens the lines when you upscale an image. Thus, your resized PNG will look crisp and neat.

Example #3. Original PNG file with transparent background: 348 x 348 px.

The same logo downsized to 200 x 200 px. The transparency has been preserved.

Example #4. Portrait PNG image with original size 480 x 720 px.

This is the resized version. Here you can see that it’s possible to resize PNG as well as change its aspect ratio by generating new pixels. And just like that a vertical picture was turned into a horizontal one!
