This preset applies different scales to each axis: 150% to the width and 100% to the height. Because the two values differ, the picture is stretched horizontally by 50%. That is useful for deliberate distortion or to correct a stretched image, but not for ordinary resizing.
Percentage resizing is relative, so every image keeps its own proportions and no target size has to be worked out in advance.
| Scale | 150% × 100% |

What 150% × 100% 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 50%.
| Starting size | Result |
|---|---|
| Phone photo (4000 × 3000) | 6000 × 3000 px (18 MP) |
| Full HD frame (1920 × 1080) | 2880 × 1080 px (3.11 MP) |
| Square image (1000 × 1000) | 1500 × 1000 px (1.5 MP) |
Before you enlarge
Enlarging to 150% × 100% 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.
How to resize an image to wide stretch
- 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.
- Apply 150% × 100%. The preset scales width and height to 150% × 100% of the original. Each image keeps its own proportions relative to its size.
- Download the result. Click resize and save. Check the new pixel dimensions and file size in the preview before downloading.
