How to Resize an Image
Resizing is one decision dressed as three: what does the destination need — exact pixels, a proportion, or a print ratio? Answer that, and the method (and this guide) follows.

The three resize modes
Exact pixels for specs and forms ("600×600"), percentage for proportional scaling ("half of this"), ratio-framing for prints ("4×6"). Every resize request is one of these three — identify which, and the tool settings write themselves.
The rules that keep photos sharp
Downsize freely — shrinking preserves quality. Upsize reluctantly — enlargement invents pixels and shows it. Never stretch — mismatched ratios get framed or cropped, not distorted. Resizing keeps the aspect handling honest — no stretching or squashing; the output is exactly the dimensions you asked for.
Resize vs. compress, once and for all
Resizing changes dimensions (pixels); compressing changes file weight (KB). Forms citing pixels want resize; forms citing KB want compress; forms citing both want resize-then-compress, in that order.
