Resize an image to 854×480 pixels (FWVGA)
To resize an image to 854×480 px, enter 854 × 480 px and pick crop to fill so the 427:240 (about 16:9) frame is not stretched: a 4:3 phone photo loses 25.1% of its area (a centred 4032×2266 crop). The result has 0.41 megapixels; as a JPEG, a detailed outdoor photo is about 138 KB at the panel's default quality 85 (104 KB at quality 75).

What 854×480 means in pixels
854×480 is a landscape frame, 1.78 times as wide as it is tall, 409,920 pixels in total (0.41 megapixels). Its sides only reduce to 427:240; that is 0.1% away from the familiar 16:9 shape, so a 16:9 crop needs only a sliver trimmed to land on exactly 854×480.
A 12 MP phone photo has 30 times as many pixels, so reaching 854×480 is a clean reduction with no invented detail. Shown 1:1 it fills 854×480 CSS px on a standard screen and 427×240 CSS px on a 2× (Retina-class) screen; at 72 DPI the same pixels span 11.9×6.7 inches.
Decoded for editing it occupies 1.56 MB of memory (4 bytes per pixel); uncompressed 24-bit RGB would be 1.17 MB, which is why the downloadable JPEG, PNG or WebP is far smaller.

Getting 854×480 from a phone, camera or screenshot
Filling 854×480 from a Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) loses the least (0.1%); a vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) loses the most (68.4%). "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 854×480. From the phone photo PixelFit takes the 4032×2266 crop through 2016×1133 and 1008×566 before the last step to 854×480, 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) | 4032×2266 (top and bottom cut) | 25.1% | 0.212× (reduced) | 640×480 |
| 24 MP camera photo (6000×4000, 3:2) | 6000×3372 (top and bottom cut) | 15.7% | 0.142× (reduced) | 720×480 |
| Full HD screenshot (1920×1080, 16:9) | 1920×1079 (top and bottom cut) | 0.1% | 0.445× (reduced) | 853×480 |
| Vertical phone video frame (1080×1920, 9:16) | 1080×607 (top and bottom cut) | 68.4% | 0.791× (reduced) | 270×480 |

How to resize a picture to 854×480
-
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 854 as the width and 480 as the height in pixels (the panel is already set to 854×480).
-
Choose how it fits
Choose crop to fill to keep the 427:240 (about 16:9) frame without stretching (a phone photo loses 25.1%, top and bottom cut). Fit inside keeps the whole picture as a 640×480 file instead; Pad with colour puts that on a full 854×480 canvas.
-
Pick the format and download
Choose JPG or WebP; without a KB limit PixelFit saves JPG at quality 85, about 138 KB for a detailed outdoor photo. Add a KB limit if the upload has one or the file should be smaller, then download the 854x480 file.
