This preset scales an image to 125% of its original width and height. The image gets 1.25 times wider and taller, which means 1.56 times as many pixels. Enlarging adds pixels but not detail.
Percentage resizing is relative, so every image keeps its own proportions and no target size has to be worked out in advance.

What 125% does to common images
A larger image means a larger file, roughly in proportion to the number of pixels. Expect it to grow by up to 56%.
| Starting size | Result |
|---|---|
| Phone photo (4000 × 3000) | 5000 × 3750 px (18.75 MP) |
| Full HD frame (1920 × 1080) | 2400 × 1350 px (3.24 MP) |
| Square image (1000 × 1000) | 1250 × 1250 px (1.56 MP) |
Before you enlarge
Enlarging to 125% creates pixels the camera never captured. The tool interpolates between neighboring pixels, so edges and text get softer the further you go. A scale up to about 150% is usually tolerable for photos viewed at normal size; beyond that, look for the original or a higher-resolution version.
If the larger image is for print, check the pixel count against the print size first (pixels ÷ DPI = inches). Doubling the width and height quadruples the number of pixels but not the amount of detail.
| Scale | Pixels remaining | 4000 × 3000 becomes |
|---|---|---|
| 25% | 6.3% | 1000 × 750 |
| 50% | 25% | 2000 × 1500 |
| 75% | 56.3% | 3000 × 2250 |
| 100% | 100% | 4000 × 3000 |
| 150% | 225% | 6000 × 4500 |
| 200% | 400% | 8000 × 6000 |
When percentage resizing makes sense
- A mixed folder of portrait and landscape photos where each should keep its own shape.
- A quick shrink for email or messaging when you have no target in mind.
- Enlarging a small graphic by a whole factor, though results get softer the further you go.
- Repeating the same change across a batch, using the bulk resizer.
