Resize an image to 500×700 pixels
To resize an image to 500×700 px, enter 500 × 700 px and pick crop to fill so the 5:7 frame is not stretched: a 4:3 phone photo loses 46.4% of its area (a centred 2160×3024 crop). The result has 0.35 megapixels; as a JPEG, a detailed outdoor photo is about 118 KB at the panel's default quality 85 (88.5 KB at quality 75).

What 500×700 means in pixels
500×700 is a portrait frame, 1.4 times as tall as it is wide, 350,000 pixels in total (0.35 megapixels). Its sides reduce to 5:7 (0.7143 as a decimal), so any picture cropped to 5:7 scales to it without distortion.
A 12 MP phone photo has 35 times as many pixels, so reaching 500×700 is a clean reduction with no invented detail. Shown 1:1 it fills 500×700 CSS px on a standard screen and 250×350 CSS px on a 2× (Retina-class) screen; at 72 DPI the same pixels span 6.9×9.7 inches.
Decoded for editing it occupies 1.34 MB of memory (4 bytes per pixel); uncompressed 24-bit RGB would be 1 MB, which is why the downloadable JPEG, PNG or WebP is far smaller.
Getting 500×700 from a phone, camera or screenshot
Filling 500×700 from a vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) loses the least (21.3%); a Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) loses the most (59.8%). "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 500×700. From the phone photo PixelFit takes the 2160×3024 crop through 1080×1512 and 540×756 before the last step to 500×700, 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) | 2160×3024 (left and right cut) | 46.4% | 0.231× (reduced) | 500×375 |
| 24 MP camera photo (6000×4000, 3:2) | 2857×4000 (left and right cut) | 52.4% | 0.175× (reduced) | 500×333 |
| Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) | 771×1080 (left and right cut) | 59.8% | 0.649× (reduced) | 500×281 |
| Vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) | 1080×1512 (top and bottom cut) | 21.3% | 0.463× (reduced) | 394×700 |

How to resize a picture to 500×700
-
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 500 as the width and 700 as the height in pixels (the panel is already set to 500×700).
-
Choose how it fits
Choose crop to fill to keep the 5:7 frame without stretching (a phone photo loses 46.4%, left and right cut). Fit inside keeps the whole picture as a 500×375 file instead; Pad with colour puts that on a full 500×700 canvas.
-
Pick the format and download
Choose JPG or WebP; without a KB limit PixelFit saves JPG at quality 85, about 118 KB for a detailed outdoor photo. Add a KB limit if the upload has one or the file should be smaller, then download the 500x700 file.

Frequently asked questions
How do I resize an image to 500x700?
Open the image in the PixelFit panel on this page, set 500 × 700 px, choose crop to fill so nothing is stretched and download. From a 12 MP phone photo that crops 46.4% (left and right cut) and scales the rest by 0.231×.
What aspect ratio is 500x700?
500x700 has an aspect ratio of 5:7: portrait, width ÷ height = 0.7143. Sizes with the same ratio include 25×35 mm photo and 5×7 inch print.
Is 500x700 good for print?
At 300 DPI 500x700 prints 1.67×2.33 in (4.2×5.9 cm). At 150 DPI it stretches to 3.33×4.67 in.
How big is a 500x700 JPEG file?
For a detailed outdoor photo about 88.5 KB at quality 75 (66.1 KB at 60, 144 KB at 90, 118 KB at the panel's default quality 85); a head-and-shoulders portrait is about 44.5 KB at quality 75, estimated from measured encodes. A flat graphic is smaller, a noisy low-light photo larger.
How does 500x700 look on a high-density screen?
On a 2× screen 500x700 is sharp when shown at 250×350 CSS px; shown larger, the browser enlarges it. A slot of 500×700 CSS px on a 2× screen needs a 1000×1400 file.
