Resize an image to 300×200 pixels
To resize an image to 300×200 px, enter 300 × 200 px and pick crop to fill so the 3:2 frame is not stretched: a 4:3 phone photo loses 11.1% of its area (a centred 4032×2688 crop). The result has 0.06 megapixels; as a JPEG, a detailed outdoor photo is about 21 KB at the panel's default quality 85 (15.7 KB at quality 75).

What 300×200 means in pixels
300×200 is a landscape frame, 1.5 times as wide as it is tall, 60,000 pixels in total (0.06 megapixels). Its sides reduce to 3:2 (1.5 as a decimal), so any picture cropped to 3:2 scales to it without distortion.
It is thumbnail scale: a 12 MP phone photo carries 203 times more pixels, so the resize discards most of them and the stepped downscale matters for sharpness. Shown 1:1 it fills 300×200 CSS px on a standard screen and 150×100 CSS px on a 2× (Retina-class) screen; at 72 DPI the same pixels span 4.2×2.8 inches.
Decoded for editing it occupies 234 KB of memory (4 bytes per pixel); uncompressed 24-bit RGB would be 176 KB, which is why the downloadable JPEG, PNG or WebP is far smaller.
Getting 300×200 from a phone, camera or screenshot
Filling 300×200 from a 24 MP camera photo (6000×4000, 3:2) loses nothing; a vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) loses the most (62.5%). "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 300×200. From the phone photo PixelFit takes the 4032×2688 crop through 2016×1344, 1008×672 and 504×336 before the last step to 300×200, 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) | 4032×2688 (top and bottom cut) | 11.1% | 0.074× (reduced) | 267×200 |
| 24 MP camera photo (6000×4000, 3:2) | 6000×4000 (nothing cut) | 0% | 0.05× (reduced) | 300×200 |
| Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) | 1620×1080 (left and right cut) | 15.6% | 0.185× (reduced) | 300×169 |
| Vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) | 1080×720 (top and bottom cut) | 62.5% | 0.278× (reduced) | 113×200 |
How many KB is a 300×200 image?
Estimated from encodes of real sample images measured with sharp 0.35.5 / libvips 8.18.7 on 31 October 2026, interpolated to 60,000 pixels. The outdoor photo at 300×200 is about 15.7 KB at quality 75 and a scanned page about 10.5 KB; your file will differ with detail and noise.

Is 300×200 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, 300×200 covers 1×0.67 in; at 150 DPI the same pixels stretch to 2×1.33 in with half the density.
| Resolution | Print size (inches) | Print size (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| 72 DPI | 4.17×2.78 in | 10.6×7.1 cm |
| 96 DPI | 3.13×2.08 in | 7.9×5.3 cm |
| 150 DPI | 2×1.33 in | 5.1×3.4 cm |
| 200 DPI | 1.5×1 in | 3.8×2.5 cm |
| 300 DPI | 1×0.67 in | 2.5×1.7 cm |
| 600 DPI | 0.5×0.33 in | 1.3×0.8 cm |

How to resize a picture to 300×200
-
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 300 as the width and 200 as the height in pixels (the panel is already set to 300×200).
-
Choose how it fits
Choose crop to fill to keep the 3:2 frame without stretching (a phone photo loses 11.1%, top and bottom cut). Fit inside keeps the whole picture as a 267×200 file instead; Pad with colour puts that on a full 300×200 canvas.
-
Pick the format and download
Choose JPG or WebP; without a KB limit PixelFit saves JPG at quality 85, about 21 KB for a detailed outdoor photo. Add a KB limit if the upload has one or the file should be smaller, then download the 300x200 file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I resize an image to 300x200?
Open the image in the PixelFit panel on this page, set 300 × 200 px, choose crop to fill so nothing is stretched and download. From a 12 MP phone photo that crops 11.1% (top and bottom cut) and scales the rest by 0.074×.
What aspect ratio is 300x200?
300x200 has an aspect ratio of 3:2: landscape, width ÷ height = 1.5. Sizes with the same ratio include 600×400 landscape, 900×600 landscape and 1200×800 landscape.
Is 300x200 good for print?
At 300 DPI 300x200 prints 1×0.67 in (2.5×1.7 cm), smaller than a passport photo, so it is a screen size rather than a print size. At 150 DPI it stretches to 2×1.33 in.
How big is a 300x200 JPEG file?
For a detailed outdoor photo about 15.7 KB at quality 75 (11.8 KB at 60, 25.7 KB at 90, 21 KB at the panel's default quality 85); a head-and-shoulders portrait is about 12.3 KB at quality 75, estimated from measured encodes. A flat graphic is smaller, a noisy low-light photo larger.
How does 300x200 look on a high-density screen?
On a 2× screen 300x200 is sharp when shown at 150×100 CSS px; shown larger, the browser enlarges it. A slot of 300×200 CSS px on a 2× screen needs a 600×400 file.
