Resize an image to 800 x 600

Drop a picture in and get it back at exactly 800 by 600 pixels - SVGA, a 4:3 shape.

Loading the tool...

An online form that names this size, a portal that rejects larger pictures, an attachment that has to stay small. Because your photograph almost certainly has different proportions, the page asks what should happen to the difference rather than deciding for you: crop the overflow, fit the whole picture inside, or force both numbers and accept the distortion.

How to resize an image to 800 x 600

  1. Drop in your image, or several at once.
  2. Choose crop to fill, fit inside, or stretch.
  3. Let it resize. The result reports the dimensions it actually produced.
  4. Download. Your image was not uploaded to produce it.

Supported formats

This tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF files. Everything is decoded by your own browser, so the formats available depend on what your browser can open - which for HEIC in particular varies between Safari and other browsers.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if my image is not 4:3?

Whatever you choose. Crop to fill scales until the 800 x 600 box is covered and trims what hangs over, so you get the exact size with the edges gone. Fit inside scales the whole picture until it fits, so nothing is lost and one side comes out shorter than the box. Stretch forces both numbers and changes the shape of everything in the picture. The default is crop to fill, because an exact size is usually the reason somebody came.

A form says maximum 800 x 600. Which option should I pick?

Fit inside. A maximum is a ceiling rather than a target: the form wants nothing larger than 800 x 600, and a picture that comes out 800 x 534 satisfies it perfectly while keeping the whole image and its proportions. Crop to fill is the right choice only when the form asks for exactly 800 by 600 and will reject anything else.

Will a small photo be enlarged to 800 x 600?

Rarely, because 0.5 megapixels is below almost any modern source. The more common mistake here is the opposite: choosing crop to fill when the form said maximum, and losing the edges of a picture that only needed to be made smaller.
