There\u2019s nothing more frustrating than losing photo resolution with resizing. We\u2019ve all been there. Now that everyone\u2019s posting flawless pictures with their smartphones and top-of-the-line cameras, grainy images just don\u2019t seem to cut it.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s simple enough to make large images with a lot of pixels smaller. However, resizing a small image to a large image is where you\u2019ll run into some trouble.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, it actually is possible to successfully take a low-resolution image and enlarge it to a higher resolution. So, don\u2019t go anywhere because we\u2019re about to fill you in on how to resize an image without losing quality.<\/p>\n

Option 1: Perfect Resize<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perfect Resize is a software that allows users to transform images with resolution optimization. The software ranges between $50 and $150 depending on your package, but there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll be sold after the 30-day free trial. Once you\u2019ve downloaded the application or the Photoshop plugin, then it\u2019s smooth sailing through the rest of the process.<\/p>\n

Simply open the image you wish to resize (if you\u2019re using the Photoshop plugin, just click \u201cFile\u201d then Automate\u201d), then populate the dimensions of your desired document size. Click \u201capply\u201d to save your changes, and voila, you\u2019re clean, crisp image is ready to go!<\/p>\n

Compatibility:
\n<\/strong>Mac
\nWindows
\nPhotoshop Integration<\/p>\n

Option 2: Gimp <\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve previously mentioned the desktop application called Gimp in our post about 5 Free Alternatives to Adobe Photoshop<\/a>, but what we didn\u2019t mention, is that Gimp can be used to enlarge images without the loss of quality too. Now, Gimp\u2019s resolution capabilities aren\u2019t as advanced as Perfect Resize\u2019s but there will still be a noticeable difference between your starting image and the finished product.<\/p>\n

Start by opening your desired image in Gimp. Next, go to \u201cimage\u201d then \u201cscale image\u201d and enter the size you wish the enlarged image to be. Finally, select \u201cSinc Lanczos3\u201d as your interpolation selection. Finish by clicking \u201cscale\u201d and watch the magic happen!<\/p>\n

Compatibility:
\n<\/strong>Mac
\nWindows<\/p>\n

\u00a0Option 3: AKVIS Magnifier <\/strong><\/p>\n

AKVIS Magnifier is another wonderful software that allows image resizing with minimal to no quality loss. Its unique algorithm takes low-resolution images and transforms them into intricate, quality photos with just a few simple clicks.<\/p>\n

Like Perfect Resize, the AKVIS Magnifier tool can be used as a standalone software or it can be found under \u201cFile\u201d then \u201cAutomate\u201d in Photoshop after downloading. Simply open your low-resolution image, set the height, width and resolution to your desired size and click \u201csave\u201d! AKVIS Magnifier offers many additional settings and parameters for resizing purposes, but for basic use, the standard setting will be perfect. Because this program is intricate and used by many professional photographers, it\u2019s $89 cost is understandable. However, there is a free trial, so you can test drive this software before making any permanent decisions.<\/p>\n

Compatibility:
\n<\/strong>Mac
\nWindows
\nPhotoshop Integration<\/p>\n

So, now that you know the secret to resizing images, give any of the mentioned applications a try and see the transformation first-hand. It\u2019s hard to deny the amazing results.<\/p>\n
