### 4/5 — Perfect for quick scaling

*2026-03-04, version 7.0.2*

Images were too big for company requirements. This recalled quickly to get them below requirements and maintained documents readability

### 3/5 — DAV

*2024-01-04, version 7.0.1*

Great till the ad banner was included - for paid app?

### 4/5 — Resize

*2020-01-23, version 5.5*

Works well for my purpose.

### 4/5 — Tinker around with it, and you’ll understand it.

*2019-09-14, version 5.5*

Good app. It takes some getting used to, but still a good app! Useful for making profile images.

### 2/5 — Flaws

*2019-07-16, version 5.5*

Okay so I got this app because theres this one photo I really want to enlarge to 2048 x 1536, but when I used this app it had a couple of flaws. One, I enlarged it to the size I wanted and pressed ‘resize’ but when I looked at the bottom the height was not what I set it to. I kept pressing resize but it stayed inaccurate. Two, when I tried to save it to my gallery, I pressed the icon for photo gallery, but when I looked in my photo gallery it wasn’t there. I kept trying but it didn’t come so yeah.

### 2/5 — Bad

*2019-03-09, version 5.5*

With iOS 12.1.4 
IPhone 8
Don’t save in the photo library 
You should copy and paste in note

### 4/5 — Works flalessly. Just needs a batch feature.

*2019-01-21, version 5.5*

Easy. Intuitive. Bug free. 

It just needs the ability to select a half-dozen images and resize them in order to win five stars from me. Doing 8 photos takes a bit.

### 4/5 — Exactly What I Needed!

*2016-11-25, version 5.5*

iPhone has a built in crop function, but nothing to resize an image. (I don't like texting 8MB snap shots.) 'Resize Image' adds the missing resize functionality.

Others have written the app does not work for various reasons. Try these instructions for basic functionality on an iPhone.

This can only reduce picture size - not make enlargements.

<> means click as indicated in the following instructions.

<Resize Image> icon to start app
<Photo> icon in lower left
<Photo Library>
...assuming you have photos
<Image> select a photo to resize
<Edit> icon in lower left, w/ sliders
...note size of picture below image
<Pixels/Percent> icon upper right
...select percent
<50%> or <20%> middle of screen
...100% 8 MB, size of original
....50% will reduce to 3MB
....20% will reduce to 0.6 MB
<Resize> under row of sizes
...to make the change
...note the reduced image size
<Save> icon in middle lower
<Sunflower> icon for Photo Library
<OK> to confirm save destination

Go to your Photo Library. The original image is NOT written over. There will now be a new image that is smaller in size than the original.

There are minor things that could be improved, so 4 stars.

### 4/5 — Definitely more than I ever expected

*2016-08-10, version 5.5*

The low cost and seemingly simple interface actually caused me to think this was just another junk app. But one day when I had to resize some photos for my website and I was not able to grab my laptop, I downloaded this app hoping it would suffice for that one use.
Well, months later, I have used it for hundreds of photos. It is basic and I like that. If I need more advanced features, I can use other software on  my computer later on.
But uploading an image while on the go that must be at least a certain size - this app saves the day every time.

### 4/5 — Use it almost every day

*2016-05-29, version 5.5*

I’ve had this app for several years. I still use it almost every day.

The one improvement I’d most like is the ability to crop before resizing.  (It would be much more convenient than using the Apple Photos app.  Also, the Apple app operates on the original photo which I don’t like.)

I’d also use a sharpening function if it were available.

### 1/5 — Look elsewhere!

*2024-05-25, version 7.0.2*

More ads than an ordinary person can take. Ads, Ads, ADS.  Can’t even resize an image!  What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Of no use to me

*2021-10-14, version 5.5*

My ipad photos appear to be around 5Mb in size, which is too large for some forums.  Using this app I can reduce the image size, but then I can't do anything with the revised image.  The app appears to say that it is saved to the clipboard.  But I don't want the new image on a clipboard, I want it saved to my photostream so that I can use it wherever I want.  Useless, and therefore deleted.

### 1/5 — Resize

*2021-01-23, version 5.5*

Your app stinks there’s nothing on there of how to use it no instructions and when I tried to send you an email from your App there was no send button to send email with

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-09-23, version 5.5*

It sounded good but, it won’t save a new photo to my photo library.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-07-03, version 5.5*

I wanted to *S-t-r-e-t-c-h* a photo - make it wider, not taller, without cropping the top and bottom.
App said it could do it, said it had done it, and saved it - no changes had been made.
App deleted.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-06-03, version 5.5*

Just saves the original image

### 1/5 — it gives you an option not to keep aspect ratio

*2016-09-27, version 5.5*

and it still keeps them equal what's the use of this app? 😒😒

### 1/5 — Wanted to stretch an image

*2016-04-20, version 5.5*

There's a switch called "maintain aspect ratio". When activated it allows you to resize an image without stretching it, and when you turn it off is allows you to resize an image without stretching it.

Too bad I got this app to stretch my image. How useless. Why even include the switch if it changes absolutely nothing???

### 1/5 — Aspect ration means nothing

*2016-04-13, version 5.5*

When you turn off aspect ratio it still keeps it. Start with a  square and want a rectangle? Too bad it's still a square

### 1/5 — ruins quality

*2016-02-13, version 5.5*

trying to resize photos so tumblr's resizer won't put them through a garbage disposal but this app does the same thing :^)

### 5/5 — Great for resizing images

*2020-08-02, version 5.5*

I am having problems uploading images from my ipad pro to various forums because of limits in image size that can be uploaded. 

This app is brilliant for reducing image size to make it easy to upload. Why apple cant build this functionality into the edit feature of  their own app is a mystery but thankfully we have clever independent developers.

### 5/5 — Quick & Easy resize

*2019-05-21, version 5.5*

I had to urgently resize an image for an ad and this ap did just that. I was able to get the specs in right on target. Very happy thanks

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2019-05-13, version 5.5*

I’ve used it for years. I often need to send numerous images from mobile devices which bogged the process. The app greatly expedites the process.

### 5/5 — Only resize app that actually works

*2018-03-09, version 5.5*

The only app on the marketplace that actually does what it claims to do, so simple and so effective. Easier than any website you can find online, just a slide with your fingertips and you are golden.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2017-09-18, version 5.5*

So far so good

### 5/5 — Nice UI and perfect for its intended use

*2017-07-28, version 5.5*

Shrink large images down easily with this cute utility.

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-05-16, version 5.5*

Pretty good, no problems.

### 5/5 — Very Happy!!

*2016-07-01, version 5.5*

I have done several searches, downloaded various apps and this app does exactly what I wanted.  I was sick of having to download a photo and having to resize it manually.  This one does the trick!  I'm delighted I finally found an app that works for me.  (One review said they couldn't save it...I saved mine selecting the "flower"...photo saved.)

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2016-04-14, version 5.5*

This probably has bells and whistles I haven't tried - but to reduce the size of a photo to add to a website listing .. Worked like a charm.

### 5/5 — I just love this app!

*2016-02-15, version 5.5*

I use it all the time, for quick size changes to cellphone shots I need to send out for work... And for personal pics I send to family or friends.
I'd like to see them cut out a step or two. for doing more than one at a time, one after the next, it can get lengthy even if it is super easy. Highly recommend!!
