Upload image for Email
Tap to select or drag and drop. JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC.
Your file never leaves this device.
Drop or select one supported image. It stays on your device.
Match the preset to the real width and aspect ratio of your email content block.
Check that scaling and cropping did not remove text, products or faces near an edge.
Download the JPEG, place it in the message and test the email in the clients your audience uses.
These are starting points, not standards enforced by every email builder. Match the real content block you will use.
Hero / header
Convenient 3:1 banner for a 600px content area.
Body image
Full-width 3:2 image for a roughly 600px legacy layout.
Square content
Square product, profile or content-card image.
Wide high-resolution
Separate 1.91:1 preset; it is not an exact 2× 600×200 banner.
Two-column thumbnail
Half-width starting point before accounting for gaps and padding.
Match the actual template
Mailchimp documents 600px legacy templates and 660px newer templates, so there is no universal width.
Account for padding
A 600px template with side padding may need an image narrower than 600px.
Use higher-resolution sources carefully
A larger source can look sharper on high-density screens when constrained to the intended display size.
Keep downloads reasonable
This resizer does not target a KB limit. Check the downloaded file and compress separately when needed.
Use RGB images
Email and web images should use an RGB color workflow rather than print-oriented CMYK.
Test before sending
Cropping, scaling and client rendering should be checked in a real campaign preview or test email.
Guidance checked against Mailchimp's current template image recommendations. Your email service and template remain the final reference.
The source scales until it fills the selected target. A different aspect ratio is cropped equally around the center, with no crop-position control.
Every preset exports JPEG at fixed quality 88. The tool does not preserve transparency or source metadata, add responsive email code, or enforce a target KB size.
Treating 600px as universal
The correct width depends on the builder, template, columns and padding.
Calling 1200×628 a 2× hero
It does not share the 3:1 aspect ratio of 600×200; a true 2× version would be 1200×400.
Missing the center crop
A different source aspect ratio loses pixels around opposite edges.
Expecting PNG or transparency
Every preset downloads as JPEG at fixed quality 88.
Assuming a preset guarantees a small file
The component reports the result size but does not enforce 80KB, 200KB or any other limit.
Skipping email-client tests
Pixel dimensions alone do not guarantee responsive or consistent display across email clients.
Compress for Email
Reduce image or attachment weight before sending an email
Resize for Website
Prepare the same image for a website, blog or landing page
Remove EXIF Data
Remove GPS and camera metadata before publishing an image
JPG to WebP
Create a WebP copy when your target environment supports it
Compress Under 200KB
Reduce an exported JPEG below a specific upload limit
No. A 600px content area is common in legacy templates, but builders vary. For example, Mailchimp documents 600px legacy templates and 660px newer templates. Match the actual content block in your chosen builder or custom HTML.
No. A true 2× version of 600 by 200 would be 1200 by 400. The 1200 by 628 option has a different, wider-content aspect ratio and is included as a separate high-resolution preset.
Yes, when the source and preset have different aspect ratios. The source scales to fill the target, then excess pixels are cropped equally around the center. There is no crop-position control.
Every preset exports JPEG at fixed quality 88. PNG transparency and the source format are not preserved, and there is no quality or exact-file-size control.
No. It creates an image with fixed pixel dimensions. Responsive display depends on the image block, width attributes and CSS used by your email builder or HTML template.
No. The interface accepts one source file and produces one preset result at a time. You can reuse the loaded source for another preset and download each result separately.
No. Decoding, resizing, center-cropping and JPEG encoding happen locally in your browser.
Choose one image above, inspect the crop, and download a private browser-generated JPEG.
