Resize to 1000 × 2000 px in one step. That is a portrait (tall) 1:2 shape with 2,000,000 pixels in all, which counts as a medium-sized image next to a modern camera photo.

Because the output size is fixed, the photo's own shape matters: if it is not 1:2, you either crop it or it gets distorted. The table below shows how much each common photo shape loses.

Output size	1000 × 2000 px
Aspect ratio	1:2 (portrait)
Total pixels	2,000,000 (2 MP)
Prints at 300 DPI	3.3 × 6.7 in (8.5 × 16.9 cm)

Fitting a photo into 1000 × 2000 px

Resizing to a fixed width and height only gives a clean result when the photo has the same shape as the target. A shape mismatch has two outcomes: the picture is stretched, or part of it is cropped. Crop first, then resize, so you decide what is cut. This is how much of each common photo would be lost to fill 1:2:

Starting photo	Cropped away to fill the shape
Phone photo (4000 × 3000, 4:3)	About 63% of the image
DSLR photo (6000 × 4000, 3:2)	About 67% of the image
Video frame (1920 × 1080, 16:9)	About 72% of the image
Portrait phone photo (3000 × 4000, 3:4)	About 33% of the image

Size, quality and file weight

2,000,000 pixels saved as a JPG at web quality typically weigh about 195.31 KB to 585.94 KB, depending on how much detail the picture contains. Flat graphics and screenshots saved as PNG compress very well when colors are simple, and poorly when they contain photographic gradients.

For photos, JPG or WebP are good choices; for logos, text or transparency, PNG keeps edges clean.

How large can it be printed?

These figures follow from the pixel count: print size = pixels ÷ DPI. Going above the 300 DPI row gives no visible benefit; going below it looks softer.

Quality	DPI	Print size
Screen-resolution draft	72	13.9 × 27.8 in (35.3 × 70.6 cm)
Acceptable for posters	150	6.7 × 13.3 in (16.9 × 33.9 cm)
Photo quality	300	3.3 × 6.7 in (8.5 × 16.9 cm)

How to resize an image to 1000x2000 px

Add your image. Select a photo or drag it onto the box above. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC and BMP files are accepted, and the file stays on your device.
Crop to 1:2 (recommended). The output is 1000 × 2000 px, a 1:2 shape. Cropping to that shape first with the built-in Crop tool decides what stays in frame and avoids distortion.
Confirm the size and format. The preset fills in 1000 × 2000 px. Choose JPG for photos or PNG for graphics with sharp edges or transparency.
Download the resized image. Click resize and save the file. The result uses Lanczos-3 resampling, which keeps edges clean when scaling down.

Frequently asked questions

How do I resize an image to 1000x2000 px without stretching it?▼

Crop the photo to 1:2 first (the built-in Crop tool does this), then apply the preset. If you skip the crop and your photo has a different shape, the result is either stretched or cut off. For example, a 4:3 phone photo needs about 63% of its area cropped to become 1:2.

What aspect ratio is 1000 × 2000?▼

1:2, portrait. It has 2 megapixels. The height is 2 times the width.

How big will a 1000 × 2000 file be?▼

As a JPG at web quality, usually between 195.31 KB and 585.94 KB; photographic PNGs are several times larger. To fit a specific limit, use one of the file-size presets after resizing, or set a target size in the editor.

What if my photo is smaller than 1000 × 2000?▼

The tool will enlarge it, but enlarging cannot add detail, so the result looks soft. Starting from a photo at least as large as 1000 × 2000 gives a much sharper result.

Which format should I use for 1000 × 2000?▼

JPG or WebP for photographs; PNG for graphics, screenshots and anything with transparency. AVIF can be smaller still, but it encodes more slowly and some older apps cannot open it.

How large can I print a 1000 × 2000 px image?▼

About 3.3 × 6.7 in (8.5 × 16.9 cm) at 300 DPI (photo quality) and 6.7 × 13.3 in (16.9 × 33.9 cm) at 150 DPI (acceptable for posters viewed from a distance).

Is my image uploaded anywhere?▼

No. ResizeAny decodes, resizes and re-encodes your picture inside your browser tab, so a photo you prepare for a 1000 × 2000 px image never leaves your device. You can confirm this in your browser's developer tools: the Network tab shows no upload request while you work.
