Hi, to anybody who is good at resizing images without them losing too much of their quality :) How do you guys do it? Is there any particular tool that you use? Any sites you could recommend?

Thank you in advance! :>
 
It's always better to shrink down large pics, versus trying to enlarge a small pic. With large pics, you'd only lose some finer details, depending on how much you shrink it.

When enlarging a small pic, quality goes downhill fast. The more you enlarge it, the more pixelated it becomes.

Forgot to add, I use Photoshop to resize pics as it's on hand, but I know there's resizing sites too. I just couldn't tell you since I've never used them.

Thank you for the advice! :) Though, what I'm trying to do is to shrink down a pixel. However, whenever I do that, even if it is by the tiniest amount, the quality of the pixel decreases instantly, by a lot. Is there anyway to avoid this, without having to completely redraw the pixel?

I like to use picresize when it's not an extreamely detailed photo.

Thank you for the site recommendation! I will try it out immediately c:

For pixels in particular, because the pixel density is SO small, the quality rapidly goes downhill in either direction. Redrawing it is the best option, but I'm not 100% sure if there's a way to get around it.

Let me think about it and I'll get back to you. I feel like I have done something like that without redrawing it, but I don't recall right now.
