Image Resizing
Channel-spec resizing and cropping sets generated from one master file, with safe areas and aspect ratios handled deliberately rather than by centre-crop.
- From $0.20 per image
- Typical delivery 24–48h
- Revisions included in the rate
- Layered files kept intact
What image resizing is
Resizing sounds like something a script should handle, and for a simple reduction it is. The moment aspect ratio changes, it stops being arithmetic and becomes a judgement call — because a square crop of a wide image has to decide what to lose.
An automated centre-crop takes the middle of the frame regardless of what is in it, which is how products end up with their tops cut off and models end up decapitated in a story format. We reframe each ratio deliberately so the subject stays whole and the composition still works.
The other half of the job is technical: correct resolution for the destination, sharpening appropriate to the output size, colour profile preserved, file weight controlled so a page does not crawl, and every variant named so it can be found later.
Who it is for
- E-commerce teams publishing one product set across many channel specifications.
- Agencies building banner and display sets in dozens of sizes per campaign.
- Social teams needing feed, story and square versions that are each properly framed.
- Brands rolling a campaign across markets with different placement requirements.
- Anyone currently doing this by hand in-house and losing days per campaign to it.
How a resizing set is built
Ratio sets
Every aspect ratio you publish to, reframed deliberately rather than centre-cropped.
Safe areas
Text and focal points kept clear of platform overlays, crops and rounded corners.
Output tuning
Correct resolution, sharpening for output size and controlled file weight per destination.
Naming & delivery
Consistent naming and folder structure so variants drop straight into your CMS.
See this work in context
Resizing work is judged by what survives the crop, not by a before-and-after slider. Send one master image and the list of sizes you need, and we will return the full set for you to check against your own placements — free on a first order of up to ten files.
Most of what we produce is delivered white-label and published under our clients’ names, so only cleared work appears in the public portfolio. If you need to see something closer to your own sector, ask — we can usually share a relevant example privately, under NDA if you prefer.

Frequently asked questions
Why not just use a batch script?
For proportional reductions, a script is fine and we will tell you so. It stops working when the aspect ratio changes, because that requires deciding what leaves the frame. That decision is the service.
Can you work from our existing size list?
Yes. Send the specification — dimensions, safe areas, file formats, naming — and we build to it. If you do not have one, tell us the platforms and we will propose a list for you to approve.
How long does a batch take?
Typical delivery is 24–48 hours, depending on image quantity, complexity, resolution and quality requirements. Larger catalogue drops are booked into a scheduled slot so you get a committed date rather than an estimate, and rush work can usually be accommodated if you tell us the deadline up front.
How is image resizing priced?
Per image, starting from $0.20, adjusted for complexity and volume. Recurring accounts are quoted after a test batch so the rate reflects your actual files rather than an average. Send a representative sample and we will tell you which tier your work falls into before you commit.
What do you need from me to start?
The files, the output you need, and any reference. If you have approved finals from a previous shoot, send two or three — we will match those rather than applying our own defaults, and we write what we derive into a style guide reused on every batch that follows.
Are revisions included?
Yes. If a file did not match the written spec, correcting it is our cost, not a second charge. Revisions are part of the rate.
Need more clarity?
Ask us anything about the work, the process or the commercials — you will get a straight answer from a person, not a sales sequence.
