An offline image resizer for Mac and Windows

Resize one photo or a whole folder to the exact size you need — in pixels or a percentage — without uploading anything. MyPixelGuard keeps the aspect ratio locked, warns you before an upscale softens the image, and never overwrites your originals.

Updated October 18, 2026

Exact sizes, in seconds

  • Type exact pixels or a percentage, with the aspect ratio locked.
  • Choose how the image should fit: Fit, Fill (crop) or Stretch.
  • Use presets for Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, or save your own.
  • Turn on “never enlarge” so small images are not stretched.
  • Get an upscale warning, so quality is never a surprise.

How to resize images

  1. Open the Resize tool and drag in your photos or a folder.
  2. Pick a size, percentage or preset, and how the image should fit.
  3. Check the preview, choose a folder, and save.
  4. Your resized copies appear in that folder; originals stay exactly as they were.

Resizing many photos the same way every week? Save the steps as a recipe — such as Website Optimized or Social Media — and run it on any batch.

Resize without giving your photos away

Online image resizers need you to upload your pictures first. MyPixelGuard does the work on your own computer, offline. You can also strip location and camera data from the resized copies in the same run, which is useful before you post photos online.

Frequently asked questions

Can I resize many images at once?

Yes. Add a folder, or run a saved recipe on a whole batch, with progress and a list of any failed files.

Will resizing overwrite my originals?

No. Resized images are saved as new files in a folder you choose, and existing files are never overwritten.

Which formats can I resize?

JPEG, PNG and TIFF everywhere. On Mac HEIC too, and WebP where supported.
