Guide: how to resize an image in Gimp

Changing Dimensions

Now you will learn how to resize an image in GIMP. You may find these changes useful, for example, when your image is too large to be included in an email, embed in a web page, or published on the Internet. In GIMP, this task is quite simple:

On the screen, you see your image, and the information at the top of the window shows the current image dimensions in pixels. You should click on the Image button and then select Scale Image; this will take you to the "Image Scale" dialog box. Here, find a place to enter new values for width and height and enter the desired values in pixels.

When you're done scaling your image, export your new changes by clicking the File button again, and then click Export. Alternatively, you can overwrite the new file: click on File, then on the Overwrite button and enter a new name for the file. Note that the original file will be deleted.
