With phone cameras getting better and better, the photos we take are getting larger in file size. Many apps and websites have limits on the size of images that can be uploaded or shared.
Resizing images to be smaller allows you to free up space on your device and easily share photos without running into platform restrictions.
How to Resize an Image on an iPhone
Since iPhones do not have a built-in image resizer tool, you’ll need to download a third-party app to resize photos. One good option is Photo & Image Resizer which is available for free on the App Store.
To get started, download and launch the Photo & Image Resizer app on your iPhone. The app has an easy-to-use interface that makes resizing images quick and simple.
Once you have the app open, follow these steps:
- Tap on the “Resizer” option in the Photo section
- Select “Photo Resizer”
- Choose an image from your iPhone’s photo library to resize
- Tap “Done” after selecting a photo
- Tap on “Resize”
- Choose either a percentage size to reduce the image to or specific pixel dimensions
The app makes it very easy to customize the end size of your image. You can resize in terms of percentages or by pixels to get the exact file size you need.
Once you’ve resized your image to the desired size in the Photo & Image Resizer app, tap “Save” to save the resized version. The app will save it to a designated “Resized” folder so it’s easy to find later.
And that’s all there is to resizing images with a third-party app on an iPhone! The process is very quick and intuitive.
How to Resize an Image with an Image Size App

You can enter specific pixel dimensions to resize your images exactly. The app makes it easy to see how different sizes will reduce the file size.
Once you have entered your desired image dimensions, tap the download icon in the lower left corner to save the resized version of your image.
