Resize or crop?

Resizing changes the number of pixels while keeping the whole picture. Use it when a website or form asks for a smaller image, such as 1,200 pixels wide. Cropping cuts away part of the picture to change its shape or focus, such as a square profile photo. Many jobs need both: crop to the right shape, then resize to the exact pixels. Our guide Crop vs Resize explains the difference with examples.
