Resizing an image
When we want to resize an image, we have many options. Let’s say you took a photo on your phone and it came out too big to send to a friend. What do we do?
Using photo editing software
One of the easiest ways to resize an image is to use image editing software like Photoshop, GIMP, or even online software like Canva.
Screenshot suggestion: When you open the software, there is a button called “Resize” in the top menu. Click on it.
After you click the resize button, you will see a window asking you to enter the new size you are interested in. You can enter the dimensions in pixels or percentages (%).
Screenshot suggestion: In the resize window, there are two boxes for selecting the new width and height. It is recommended to note that the “Maintain aspect ratio” option is checked.
Using applications on your phone
On smartphones, you can find applications for resizing images. You can download free applications from application stores such as the Play Store or the App Store.

Change text size
If you are writing a document or presentation and want to change the text size, the process is very simple.
Using Word or Google Docs
Many writing programs, such as Word or Google Docs, have the option to change the font size.
Screenshot suggestion: In the menu above, there is a button with a number and a font, for example “12” and Arial. When you click on it, you can choose a different number for the font size.
Remember that a font size that is too large or too small can make it difficult to read. Typically, a font size of 12 to 14 is suitable for reading text.
What should you pay attention to when changing size?
There are a few things to keep in mind when organizing a resizing:
- Regarding aspect ratio: It is always a good idea to maintain the original aspect ratio so that the image or text is not distorted.
- Don’t make it too large: Files that are too large take longer to download and have more of a load on the device.
- High quality: Resizing may damage the image/text quality, so it’s best to use options that ensure quality is maintained.

Resizing games
Computer games also require resizing, especially when it comes to graphics settings. If the game isn’t running smoothly, you may need to change the display size or graphics settings.
Changing graphics settings
To change the size of the game, open the game settings. Usually there is an option to change the game resolution.
- Choose a lower resolution if the game doesn’t run smoothly.
- Note that resolution affects image quality, so it’s worth finding the right balance.
Using windowed mode
If you want to play the game in windowed mode instead of full screen, you can resize the game window. This can help you play and perform other tasks at the same time.
In conclusion
Resizing is a very useful tool that anyone can use in a variety of situations. If you are confident in using the right tools and maintaining proportions and quality, you can resize almost anything easily and successfully.
