Reduce Image to 50 Percent

The most-asked resize there is: half. Both dimensions drop to 50%, the pixel count drops to a quarter, and the file weight follows — usually the perfect "just smaller" answer. Resizing keeps the aspect handling honest — no stretching or squashing; the output is exactly the dimensions you asked for.

The quiet math of halving

Half the width times half the height is one quarter of the pixels — which is why a 50% reduction shrinks files far more than intuition expects. An 8MB photo lands near 2MB before any compression even runs.

Why half hits the sweet spot

Camera photos are oversized for almost every use — at 50% they remain sharper than most screens can show while becoming email-friendly, upload-friendly and storage-friendly. When in doubt, half.
