What 800×600 is used for

  • Older school and government portals that still specify 800×600
  • Forum avatars and CMS thumbnails
  • Projector defaults on 4:3 hardware
  • Email signatures

4:3, 0.48 MP — a small file by today’s standards, still a hard requirement in a surprising number of forms.

Pixels are not DPI

A file with 800×600 pixels carries no physical size until someone prints it. At 300 dpi that is 6.8×5.1 cm; at 150 dpi it is twice as large and half as sharp. Forms that ask for “300 dpi” and “800×600 px” are asking for the same thing in two languages — this tool satisfies both, and stamps the requested dpi into the file.

Why it will not upscale by default

Padding a 400×300 image to 1920×1080 does not add detail: it invents pixels by interpolation, and the result looks soft at every zoom level. The upscale switch exists for the cases where you truly must (a platform that rejects anything smaller), but the honest answer is to start from a bigger source.

Cropping, not stretching

Changing the aspect ratio is a destructive decision. “Cover” fills the frame and cuts the overflow; “contain” keeps everything and adds padding; “stretch” distorts on purpose. Default is cover with a centre anchor, which is right for photos and wrong for documents — pick per batch.

Frequently asked questions

Do I lose quality going to 800×600?
Downscaling with high-quality smoothing loses very little, and often looks cleaner than the original because camera noise averages out. Upscaling always softens. Either way the output is re-encoded once, so avoid repeating the process.
Can I keep the original aspect ratio?
Yes — that is the default behaviour with “cover”. Type only one dimension and the other follows. Turn on “allow upscale” only if the source is smaller than 800×600.
Does resizing also compress?
Yes. Re-encoding to JPG or WebP reduces the file size as a side effect, usually far more than the dimension change alone. If you need an exact byte target, use the compression tool instead — it searches for it.
Is this safe for confidential images?
The image is decoded and re-encoded inside your tab. No request carries the file anywhere; the only network activity on this page is loading the page itself.
