# Photo Stretcher

Photo Stretcher is a free online image stretcher. You drop in a photo, type the exact width and height you need, and download the result. The image is never uploaded. All the work happens in your browser, on your own device.

Why Use Photo Stretcher?

Photo Stretcher exists for a small but common annoyance. A website asks for a 1200 × 630 banner. A form wants a photo under 100 KB. A print shop needs a file at exact pixel dimensions. Most editors make you work around the size you want. Photo Stretcher starts from the size and lets you decide how the picture fills it.

Four Ways to Fit a Photo to a Size

A photo can be mapped onto a target size in several ways, and the right one depends on the picture. The editor offers four options, each with a live preview:

1. Stretch

Stretch fills the exact size you typed. Width and height move independently, so proportions can change. This is the default and the reason for the name.

2. Resize

Resize keeps the original proportions. Change one side and the other follows the source ratio.

3. Fit

Fit places the whole image inside the canvas and fills the leftover space with a background color you choose.

4. Crop

Crop fills the canvas edge to edge and trims the overflow, centered on the image.

You can see the result before you download it, so you don't have to export, check, and try again.

Stretch an Image Horizontally or Vertically

Sometimes distortion is the point. You might need a narrow graphic widened to fill a slot, a squeezed screenshot restored to its real shape, or a tall image flattened for a wide placeholder.

Stretch handles all of these. Set the width and height separately and the image is scaled to match, with no locked ratio getting in the way. If you'd rather keep the shape, switch to Resize, Fit, or Crop without re-uploading anything.

Who It's For

Bloggers and site owners use Photo Stretcher to match banner, thumbnail, and header sizes. Sellers use it to meet listing requirements. Anyone filling out an application form with strict pixel or file-size limits can use it too. Designers can use it when a quick one-off image adjustment isn't worth opening a full editing program.

Privacy-Friendly Image Editing

Photo Stretcher processes images directly in your browser. Your image is not uploaded to a server, making it a simple option for people who want to adjust image dimensions while keeping their files on their own device.
