How Do I Resize a PNG in Photopea?

Published in Image Resizing 2 mins read

To resize a PNG image in Photopea, follow these steps:

  1. Open your image: Start by opening your PNG file in Photopea. You can do this by selecting File then Open from the menu.

  2. Access the Image Size dialog: Once your image is open, go to the Image menu and click on Size. This will open the Image Size dialog window.

  3. Set the Units: Within the Image Size dialog, make sure the units are set to Inches. This ensures your measurements are in inches.

  4. Input Desired Width and Height:

    • Enter your desired Width and Height in the respective fields. For example, if you want a square image with sides of 9 inches, set both the width and height to 9.
    • Note: It's acceptable to have one side larger than the needed dimension. You can always crop later, as suggested in the reference.
    • For example, If you need one side to be 9 inches you can set the required side to 9 and the other side to a higher value.
  5. Set the DPI: Set the DPI (Dots Per Inch) value to 300. This is a common resolution for printing and ensures good image quality.

  6. Confirm Changes: Once you have set the dimensions and DPI, click the OK button to apply the changes.

    • Example Based on the reference, to resize an image to a 9x9 inch dimension at 300 DPI, you would:
      • Open the image in Photopea.
      • Go to Image -> Size
      • Change the units to Inches.
      • Set the Width to 9.
      • Set the Height to 9.
      • Set the DPI to 300.
      • Click OK.

This method allows you to change the dimensions of your PNG file in Photopea while maintaining a specific DPI.
