How it works in practice
Resizing changes the number of pixels. Preserving aspect ratio prevents stretching; forcing unrelated width and height values can make circles look like ovals and people look unnaturally wide or narrow.
Change image dimensions precisely.
Change image width and height to match a website, document, marketplace or social-media requirement.
Best for: Creating exact pixel dimensions or reducing oversized camera images before upload.
Resizing changes the number of pixels. Preserving aspect ratio prevents stretching; forcing unrelated width and height values can make circles look like ovals and people look unnaturally wide or narrow.
Draws the source image into a canvas at new pixel dimensions and exports the resized result. Aspect-ratio choices determine whether the image stays proportional or becomes distorted.
Use professional resampling when print sharpening, color management or batch-production consistency matters.

It is the proportional relationship between width and height. Keeping it constant prevents stretching.
No. Enlarging can create more pixels but cannot recover detail that was never captured.
Usually yes. Removing unnecessary pixels first gives the encoder less data to store.
Preserve proportions, choose when to crop, and understand why enlarging a small photo cannot create real detail.
