What to expect at 500 × 500 pixels

We resized three test photos to 500 × 500 pixels with this exact tool (saved as JPG, crop to fill). Here is how much of each photo was kept and how big the file came out:

Test photoWhat the crop trimsJPG file size
Group photo, 1920 × 1280the sides (keeps 67% of the width)53 KB
Portrait, 1920 × 1350the sides (keeps 70% of the width)67 KB
Group of four, 1920 × 1537the sides (keeps 80% of the width)78 KB
Result: 500 × 500 pixels for every photo. “Enlarged” means the test photo was smaller than the target after cropping.

What 500 × 500 pixels is used for

  • Square product photos for marketplaces and online shops.
  • Profile pictures that still look sharp on large screens.
  • Images for forms that specify 500 × 500 pixels.

How to resize your image

  1. Add one photo or many. Each one is resized to 500 × 500 pixels straight away.
  2. Keep Crop to fill for an exact size with no borders, or pick Fit with border to keep the whole picture.
  3. Choose JPG, PNG or WebP, then download one file or all of them as a ZIP.

Want the whole picture with a white border instead of a crop? Choose "Fit with border" under the size: the full photo is kept and the rest is filled with white.

Questions

How large is a 500 × 500 JPG?

In our tests it was 53 to 78 KB for photos, and about 88 KB for a text-heavy page.

Will my photo be stretched?

No. With Crop to fill the photo keeps its proportions and the parts outside the 500 × 500 shape are trimmed evenly. Choose Stretch only if you really want the whole picture squeezed into the size.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Resizing happens in your own browser, so the photo never leaves your device. There is no sign-up and no watermark.

Can I also make the file smaller in KB?

Yes. After resizing, use the image compressor to reach a size such as 20, 50 or 100 KB.
