Resize an image to 120×600 pixels
To resize an image to 120×600 px, enter 120 × 600 px and pick crop to fill so the 1:5 frame is not stretched: a 4:3 phone photo loses 85% of its area (a centred 605×3024 crop). The result has 0.072 megapixels; as a JPEG, a detailed outdoor photo is about 24.9 KB at the panel's default quality 85 (18.7 KB at quality 75).

What 120×600 means in pixels
120×600 is a portrait frame, 5 times as tall as it is wide, 72,000 pixels in total (0.072 megapixels). Its sides reduce to 1:5 (0.2 as a decimal), so any picture cropped to 1:5 scales to it without distortion.
A 12 MP phone photo has 169 times as many pixels, so reaching 120×600 is a clean reduction with no invented detail. Shown 1:1 it fills 120×600 CSS px on a standard screen and 60×300 CSS px on a 2× (Retina-class) screen; at 72 DPI the same pixels span 1.7×8.3 inches.
Decoded for editing it occupies 281 KB of memory (4 bytes per pixel); uncompressed 24-bit RGB would be 211 KB, which is why the downloadable JPEG, PNG or WebP is far smaller.
Getting 120×600 from a phone, camera or screenshot
Filling 120×600 from a vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) loses the least (64.4%); a Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) loses the most (88.8%). "Fit inside" keeps the whole picture instead and the file comes out at the size in the last column; "Pad with colour" adds bars to reach the full 120×600. From the phone photo PixelFit takes the 605×3024 crop through 302×1512 and 151×756 before the last step to 120×600, so each pass blends neighbouring pixels instead of skipping them.
| Starting image | Crop to fill keeps | Area lost | Scale | Fit inside gives |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 MP phone photo (4032×3024, 4:3) | 605×3024 (left and right cut) | 85% | 0.198× (reduced) | 120×90 |
| 24 MP camera photo (6000×4000, 3:2) | 800×4000 (left and right cut) | 86.7% | 0.15× (reduced) | 120×80 |
| Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) | 216×1080 (left and right cut) | 88.8% | 0.556× (reduced) | 120×68 |
| Vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) | 384×1920 (left and right cut) | 64.4% | 0.313× (reduced) | 120×213 |

Is 120×600 good for print?
Pixels carry no physical size until you pick a DPI. At 300 DPI, the resolution PixelFit uses for its print and ID photo sizes, 120×600 covers 0.4×2 in; at 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 0.8×4 in with half the density.
| Resolution | Print size (inches) | Print size (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 1.67×8.33 in | 4.2×21.2 cm |
| 96 DPI | 1.25×6.25 in | 3.2×15.9 cm |
| 150 DPI | 0.8×4 in | 2×10.2 cm |

How to resize a picture to 120×600
-
Add the picture
Drop, paste or pick the photo in the PixelFit panel at the top of this page; it is decoded in your browser and never uploaded.
-
Set the size
Enter 120 as the width and 600 as the height in pixels (the panel is already set to 120×600).
-
Choose how it fits
Choose crop to fill to keep the 1:5 frame without stretching (a phone photo loses 85%, left and right cut). Fit inside keeps the whole picture as a 120×90 file instead; Pad with colour puts that on a full 120×600 canvas.
-
Pick the format and download
Choose JPG or WebP; without a KB limit PixelFit saves JPG at quality 85, about 24.9 KB for a detailed outdoor photo. Add a KB limit if the upload has one or the file should be smaller, then download the 120x600 file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I resize an image to 120x600?
Open the image in the PixelFit panel on this page, set 120 × 600 px, choose crop to fill so nothing is stretched and download. From a 12 MP phone photo that crops 85% (left and right cut) and scales the rest by 0.198×.
What aspect ratio is 120x600?
120x600 has an aspect ratio of 1:5: portrait, width ÷ height = 0.2. No other common target has exactly this ratio: the frame is 5 times as tall as it is wide, and the closest familiar shape is 9:16, 64.4% away, so converting between them means a visible crop.
Is 120x600 good for print?
At 300 DPI 120x600 prints 0.4×2 in (1×5.1 cm). At 150 DPI it stretches to 0.8×4 in.
How big is a 120x600 JPEG file?
For a detailed outdoor photo about 18.7 KB at quality 75 (14.1 KB at 60, 30.5 KB at 90, 24.9 KB at the panel's default quality 85); a head-and-shoulders portrait is about 13.9 KB at quality 75, estimated from measured encodes. A flat graphic is smaller, a noisy low-light photo larger.
How does 120x600 look on a high-density screen?
On a 2× screen 120x600 is sharp when shown at 60×300 CSS px; shown larger, the browser enlarges it. A slot of 120×600 CSS px on a 2× screen needs a 240×1200 file.
