Requirements

  • Make sure that Resize by Percentage radio button is checked.
  • Check the Maintain aspect ratio box.
  • Fill out the ratio either on Horizontal or Vertical side fields.

Note: Maintain aspect ration will follow equal size on horizontal and vertical sides. If you don't know the percentage to set for the image, let this option is remain checked. Incorrect percentage settings lead to affect the image quality. Then, forget about skew (Degrees) option. The skew option is for giving an angular size to your images.


  •  Once you're done, click on OK.
This is a simple method to resize the image in kilobytes.


How To Resize Image in Paint by Pixels: [Method 2]


  • Run the Paint application.
  • Insert an image and click the Resize option.

  • On the Resize and Skew dialog box, choose Pixels.
  • Uncheck the Main aspect ratio.
  • Now, you need to enter specific pixels ratio on both Horizontal and Vertical side fields. Example: 560 x 358 pixels.

Note: When you uncheck the Maintain aspect ratio, it doesn't follow the uniformity in pixels on both sides. You should have the clarity on what pixel size can be used for the image. Remember that incorrect pixels size will blur the image. This may result in poor quality of images.


  • After resizing the picture, click on OK.



Conclusion


MS Paint can be used as a simple image resizer tool. You can resize your images in cm and kb. You can also make the picture bigger or smaller using the above methods. We prefer the second method to resize images in order to maintain uniform size and quality.
