40+ platform presets

LinkedIn profile (400×400), LinkedIn banner (1584×396), Instagram (1080×1080 square, 1080×1350 portrait), Twitter, eBay (1600 px long edge), Reddit (1080 px wide), Etsy listing, Poshmark, Depop, Discord, WordPress thumbnail, government-form passport-photo specs — auto-applies pixel size, aspect ratio, and DPI.

Custom dimensions

Type exact width × height in pixels, set aspect-ratio lock, and the app handles the resampling. Useful for one-off web forms with quirky size requirements.

Target file size

Pick 5 MB, 2 MB, 1 MB, or 500 KB as a ceiling and the app picks JPG quality + dimensions that land under it. Hits "must be under 2 MB" form requirements reliably.

Batch resize

Queue up to 100 photos with the same preset. Useful for marketplace listing runs or putting together a Reddit photo album.

Multi-format output

Export to JPG, PNG, or HEIC. PNG when transparency matters. JPG for compatibility. HEIC stays small.

Keeps the original

Resized copies save to a Swarmval-Resized album or to the iOS Files app. Originals never overwritten.

FAQ
What size do I need for a LinkedIn profile photo? +

LinkedIn recommends 400×400 pixels minimum, up to 8 MB max file size. Square aspect ratio. JPG or PNG. Photo Resizer’s LinkedIn profile preset applies these constraints in one tap and produces a file LinkedIn accepts without re-cropping inside the platform.

Why do web upload forms reject my iPhone photos? +

Two reasons. First, iPhone photos are typically 3–6 MB at 12 MP, and many forms cap uploads at 1–2 MB. Second, the iPhone saves photos as HEIC by default, and many older form systems only accept JPG or PNG. Photo Resizer handles both — resizes to the target size and exports in the requested format.

Doesn’t iOS Photos already let me crop? +

Yes, the Photos app has Edit → Crop, but it cannot set exact pixel dimensions, target a specific file size, or batch process. It also cannot apply platform presets like "Reddit mobile width" or "eBay 1600 px long edge". Photo Resizer fills those gaps.

Will resizing reduce photo quality? +

Downsizing always loses some pixel data, but most platforms display photos at far smaller sizes than the iPhone original. A 12 MP iPhone photo resized to LinkedIn’s 400×400 still looks crisp because LinkedIn never displays it larger. For larger resizes (eBay 1600 px) the quality drop is invisible to the eye at typical viewing distances.

Why are passport photo apps so expensive? +

Many App Store apps charge $9.99–$29.99 per week — the per-week billing is the fleeceware shape, not the trial length. Resizing to a specific dimension is a one-line iOS API call with no infrastructure cost. Photo Resizer offers a useful free tier and the standard Swarmval pricing: $4.99/month (3-day trial), $14.99/year, or $19.99 lifetime.

Can I batch resize for a marketplace listing run? +

Yes. Pro tier supports queuing up to 100 photos with the same preset. Useful for sellers prepping a Sunday-night Poshmark, Depop, or eBay listing batch. Output is consistent, platform-spec-compliant, and ready to upload.
