How to Intelligently Resize Your Image

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Begin by uploading the photo you wish to resize. This can be a product shot, a portrait, or a landscape photo.

  2. 2

    Enter your prompt

    In the text box, describe how you'd like to scale the image. For example, 'Make this picture wider to fit a banner' or 'Make this image square'.

  3. 3

    Generate your scaled image

    Click the generate button. Our AI will analyze your image, protect the subject, and resize the background to your desired dimensions.

  4. 4

    Download your image

    Your newly resized, high-resolution image is ready to be downloaded in PNG format, completely watermark-free.

Turn a vertical photo into a horizontal banner or a square post without awkardly stretching or cropping your main subject. Traditional scaling distorts everything uniformly, but Pixelcut's AI-powered content aware scale is different. It intelligently identifies the important parts of your photo, like people or products, and protects them from distortion. The AI then seamlessly rebuilds the background to fit the new dimensions, giving you a perfectly composed image for any format you need, from website headers to social media posts.

Change Aspect Ratios, Not Subjects

An image demonstrating content-aware scaling: a woman stands perfectly normal and undistorted on a beach, while the sand, sea, and sky around her are stretched horizontally in a surreal, wide-screen effect.
Go beyond simple resizing and start thinking like a photographer. Use content aware scaling to creatively recompose your images. Extend a dramatic sky, widen a cityscape, or add breathing room around your subject to create a more balanced and impactful composition. Instead of complex tools and manual selections, you just describe what you want. Tell the AI to make the background wider or add more space at the top, and watch as it intelligently reconstructs your image to match your creative vision in seconds.

Recompose Your Photos with a Simple Prompt

Stop struggling to adapt your images for different platforms. With content aware scale, you can take a single master image and effortlessly generate versions for any required aspect ratio. Create a 9:16 version for your Instagram Story, a 1:1 for your feed, and a 16:9 for a YouTube thumbnail, all from the same original photo. This process saves you valuable time and ensures your content always looks professional and perfectly formatted, maintaining visual consistency across all your channels without compromise.

Perfect for Social Media & Web Content
