While the new feature is useful it is terribly rigid. For the medium size, it was reduced to 1224 x 1632, and the large size had the image reduced to 1732 x 2309. The size reduction is based on the size of the original image but the small size hovers around 20%, the medium hovers between 50-60%, and the large size is somewhere around 70%.ĭuring our tests, the Photos app took an image that is 2448 x 3264 and reduced it to 433 x 577 when the Small size was selected. This is because the image is too small to be resized and Photos can only resize the photos so that they’re smaller. Likewise, if the photo is too small, you won’t see the resize option in the menu at all. For example, if you have a particularly large photo, the larger resizing option cannot be selected. The resize options vary based on the original image and its dimensions.

The three options let you resize photos for a profile picture, for emails and messaging, and for viewing.īased on the original disk size of the photo, it will tell you what size you can expect once the image has been resized. This will open a little menu with three options for how you want to resize the image. Click the more options button and you’ll see a Resize option in the menu. Open the Photos app and select the photo you want to resize.
