Resize an image to 595×842 pixels
To resize an image to 595×842 px, enter 595 × 842 px and pick crop to fill so the 595:842 (1:1.42) frame is not stretched: a 4:3 phone photo loses 47% of its area (a centred 2137×3024 crop). The result has 0.5 megapixels; as a JPEG, a detailed outdoor photo is about 168 KB at the panel's default quality 85 (127 KB at quality 75).

What 595×842 means in pixels
595×842 is a portrait frame, 1.42 times as tall as it is wide, 500,990 pixels in total (0.5 megapixels). Its sides only reduce to 595:842; that is 6% away from the familiar 2:3 shape, so a 2:3 crop still needs a visible trim to land on exactly 595×842.
A 12 MP phone photo has 24 times as many pixels, so reaching 595×842 is a clean reduction with no invented detail. Shown 1:1 it fills 595×842 CSS px on a standard screen and 298×421 CSS px on a 2× (Retina-class) screen; at 72 DPI the same pixels span 8.3×11.7 inches.
Decoded for editing it occupies 1.91 MB of memory (4 bytes per pixel); uncompressed 24-bit RGB would be 1.43 MB, which is why the downloadable JPEG, PNG or WebP is far smaller.
Getting 595×842 from a phone, camera or screenshot
Filling 595×842 from a vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) loses the least (20.4%); a Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) loses the most (60.3%). "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 595×842. From the phone photo PixelFit takes the 2137×3024 crop through 1068×1512 before the last step to 595×842, 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) | 2137×3024 (left and right cut) | 47% | 0.278× (reduced) | 595×446 |
| 24 MP camera photo (6000×4000, 3:2) | 2827×4000 (left and right cut) | 52.9% | 0.21× (reduced) | 595×397 |
| Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) | 763×1080 (left and right cut) | 60.3% | 0.78× (reduced) | 595×335 |
| Vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) | 1080×1528 (top and bottom cut) | 20.4% | 0.551× (reduced) | 474×842 |

How to resize a picture to 595×842
-
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 595 as the width and 842 as the height in pixels (the panel is already set to 595×842).
-
Choose how it fits
Choose crop to fill to keep the 595:842 (1:1.42) frame without stretching (a phone photo loses 47%, left and right cut). Fit inside keeps the whole picture as a 595×446 file instead; Pad with colour puts that on a full 595×842 canvas.
-
Pick the format and download
Choose JPG or WebP; without a KB limit PixelFit saves JPG at quality 85, about 168 KB for a detailed outdoor photo. Add a KB limit if the upload has one or the file should be smaller, then download the 595x842 file.
