Resize an image to 1920 x 1080
Drop a photo and it comes out exactly 1920 pixels wide by 1080 tall, the 16 by 9 shape of a full HD screen. A taller photo is cropped at the top and bottom rather than squashed. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and it works on a phone.

Why this size?
1920 by 1080 is a Full HD, 16:9 frame suitable for a slide background, wallpaper or video still that needs this resolution.
Other screens use different resolutions, so match the destination rather than assuming every display is Full HD.
What gets cropped, and why nothing is stretched
A photograph is almost never the shape you are asking for.
The image is scaled until it fills the box and the overflow is then taken off the long edges, evenly from both sides.
The alternative is stretching, which leaves faces and straight lines visibly wrong, so this tool never does it.
If the crop takes something you wanted to keep, change the width or the height in the panel and the box changes with it.
Turning the lock back on makes both fields follow your photo's own proportions again, which gives you the whole frame at a smaller size instead.
What if the photo is smaller than the box?
It is scaled up to fill it, because a page that promises an exact size has to deliver one.
Enlarging cannot add detail that was never captured, so the result is softer than the original.
Starting from the largest copy you have is always worth the extra second it takes to find it.
What happens to your photo?
Your selected photo is processed in your browser, without an image upload to a server. The page may download code and codecs needed for editing.
Save your result before closing the tab; unsaved edits are kept in memory rather than in an online account.
Common questions
Is 1920x1080 the same thing as 1080p?
Yes. 1080p names the 1080 horizontal lines of a full HD frame, which works out at 1920 pixels across in the usual 16 by 9 shape.
The two terms describe one pixel grid, one of them by its height alone and the other by both axes.
My photo is portrait. What does this page do with it?
It fills the 1920 by 1080 frame from the centre and takes the top and bottom away, which on a portrait photo removes a great deal of the picture.
Turning the photo sideways first, or picking a square size instead, usually gives a result you will prefer.
