How to resize an image on an Android device?

With today’s modern gadgets, taking photos has become so easy that having hundreds of images in storage is not a particularly strange or uncommon thing. Storage does become a problem though, as the better camera quality gets, the larger the photo’s file size.

Resizing is not just cropping an image, it can also mean the manipulation of pixels to reduce the file size. If you’re trying to send a lot of pictures to another person but the file size is too large, you’ll need to condense the photo to send it.

How to Resize an Image on an Android Device

Android phone or tablet does not come with applications that can be used to resize an image. The Photos app that comes as a standard with Android can be used to view files, but there are no available options for you to edit anything. Fortunately, useful applications for android devices can be found at the Google Play Store.

The type of app may vary depending on both your device type and Android version, but most have very similar tools. The standard process of resizing an image is to either select one or multiple images from your album, then choose the resolution that you want it resized to. Here are a few choice tools that are highly rated on Google Play.

1. Photo Compress & Resize

An easy-to-use and intuitive Image size reducer, Photo Compress and Resize allows the user to both decrease the image size, or crop images and remove unwanted portions of the picture. It can perform batch image reductions and allows for multiple files to be selected and reduced all at once.

2. Photo & Picture Resizer

A convenient photo resizer made for Android devices, the Photo & Picture Resizer app gives the user the option to quickly change the size of single or multiple images with a few simple taps. Made to match the original picture aspect ratio by default, the Photo & Picture Resizer makes it easy to upload images to various social media sites. The app also allows for batch processing of multiple images all in one go.

3. Q Reduce: Photo Reducer and Q Reduce Lite
