How to use Resize Image in cm, mm & inches

  1. 1

    Upload a photo

  2. 2

Resize a photo to centimetres, millimetres or inches

Screens measure images in pixels, but printers and forms ask for physical sizes like 3.5 × 4.5 cm, 35 × 45 mm or 2 × 2 inches. The link between the two is the resolution in DPI (dots per inch): pixels = inches × DPI. At 300 DPI, a 3.5 × 4.5 cm photo is 413 × 531 pixels.

Features

  • Any unit: enter sizes in cm, mm or inches and switch units at any time.
  • DPI presets: 72 and 96 DPI for screens, 150–300 DPI for photo prints, 600 DPI for line art, or a custom value.
  • Ready-made sizes: passport and visa photos, wallet photos, 4 × 6, 5 × 7 and 8 × 10 inch prints, A6 to A3, US Letter and Legal, business cards.
  • Three fit modes: keep proportions, crop to fill with a draggable position, or fit inside with a padding colour.
  • Correct metadata: the DPI is written into the JPG (JFIF) or PNG (pHYs) file, so Word, Photoshop and print shops show the right size.
  • Sharpness check: you are warned when the photo has too few pixels for the chosen size and DPI.

Common photo sizes

  • Passport photo (EU, UK, many countries): 35 × 45 mm.
  • US passport and visa: 2 × 2 inches (51 × 51 mm).
  • Standard prints: 4 × 6 in (10 × 15 cm), 5 × 7 in, 8 × 10 in.

To change only the DPI without resizing, use Change DPI. For an exact file size in KB, use Compress Image to Size.

Frequently asked questions

How many pixels is 3.5 × 4.5 cm?
At 300 DPI it is 413 × 531 pixels; at 600 DPI it is 827 × 1063 pixels. The tool shows the pixel result for any size and DPI.
What DPI should I use for printing?
300 DPI is the standard for photo prints. 150 DPI is fine for large posters viewed from a distance, and 72 or 96 DPI is enough for screens.
Will my photo be stretched?
No. Keep proportions adjusts the other side automatically, Crop to fill trims the edges, and Fit with padding adds a border. The image is never distorted.
Is the DPI saved in the file?
Yes. JPG files get the DPI in the JFIF header and PNG files in the pHYs chunk, so editors and printers read the correct physical size.
Can I make a passport photo with this?
Yes, choose a passport preset and crop to fill. For background replacement and official guidelines, try our Passport Photo maker.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
