Question 1

Does resizing an image reduce its file size?

Accepted Answer

Yes, scaling down an image's dimensions (e.g., from 4000x3000 to 800x600) significantly reduces the number of pixels, which usually drastically reduces the final file size.

Question 2

What does 'Lock Aspect Ratio' mean?

Accepted Answer

Locking the aspect ratio ensures that when you change the width, the height automatically adjusts proportionally (and vice versa). This prevents your image from appearing stretched or squished.

Question 3

Does resizing happen locally?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the resizing utilizes the HTML5 Canvas API to redraw the image at your specified dimensions entirely within your browser window.
