1Upload the WebP images you want resized — work from the largest original you have rather than from a copy you already shrank once.
2Set the new size: for an image, a width and height in pixels with an optional aspect-ratio lock; for a video, one of the preset sizes from 1920x1080 down to 640x360.
3Start the resize; the picture is scaled to the size you chose.
4Download the resized WebP file.
Resize WebP FAQ
Can I keep the aspect ratio, or force exact dimensions?
+
Both. Lock the ratio and one dimension is derived from the other, which is what you want almost always. Unlock it and you get exactly the numbers you typed, at the cost of stretching — useful for a fixed slot, wrong for a photograph.
Does the source format affect the result of a resize?
+
It does. WebP carries both a lossy VP8 mode and a lossless mode plus full alpha, typically landing 25-35% under a JPG of matching visual quality. That is what decides whether shrinking the file is purely a question of pixels or also a question of re-encoding.
What is the most common mistake when resizing WebP images?
+
Upscaling. Enlarging cannot invent detail that was never captured, so the result is a soft version of the original at a bigger size. Always resize down from the largest source you have, and resize once rather than in stages.
What dimensions should I actually target?
+
Match the slot it will live in. A full-width web hero rarely needs more than 1920 pixels wide, a content image 1200, a thumbnail 400, and doubling those numbers covers high-DPI screens. Anything beyond that is bytes nobody sees.
What happens to EXIF and colour profile data?
+
It depends on the tool. Compression strips EXIF and the embedded colour profile to save space, while edits such as resizing or rotating can keep them. There is no setting on this page to choose, so check the file with a metadata viewer before publishing it if location data matters.
Does Resize WebP cost anything?
+
No. Resize WebP is free without an account and adds no watermark. The upload and the result are deleted automatically about 24 hours after the job, which leaves time to download the result.
What can I upload to Resize WebP?
+
Anything in the lossy raster family — JPG, JPEG, JFIF and WebP — plus the lossless formats (PNG, BMP, TIFF) if you want to mix them in one batch. The format is read from the file header, not the extension, so a photo saved with the wrong suffix still goes through.
Why does a PDF site host Resize WebP?
+
PDF.to exists because PDF is where documents go to be shared and the worst place to keep them while they are still being worked on, so nearly every job here is about getting something into or out of that state deliberately. A document rarely arrives in the state it needs to leave in: it is too big, in the wrong order, locked, or a scan with no text in it. Resize WebP sits on the same upload and the same account as the conversions because those jobs turn up together.
What should I do with the result once Resize WebP is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves documents between PDF, Word, images, plain text and eBook formats in either direction, so whatever comes out of a tool here has somewhere to go next without a second upload. Running that after Resize WebP rather than before keeps the document structure intact through the step that is most likely to flatten it.
Is Resize WebP here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same document toolchain, the same workers, the same limits. What a PDF site adds is a view on when a file should stay a document and when it genuinely wants to become something else, which is the decision most tools quietly make for you. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: a PDF is an object graph, not a page image, so text stays selectable and vectors stay sharp no matter what happens to the raster content inside it.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account is needed. Uploads and results are kept for about 24 hours, which leaves time to download the result, and are then deleted automatically; nobody reads, lists or indexes them. Several files in one job need a paid plan.
