Resize Image to 3000x3000

A 3000 by 3000 square carries enough pixels for print and for marketplaces that demand a big square. Both dimensions are already filled in, ready for the first press.

Three thousand pixels square is a large output, roughly nine megapixels, which is why it turns up in print work and in marketplace listings that insist on a high-resolution square. This page opens on Exact with both fields at 3000 and the aspect lock off. The Preview line reports the exact output and its megapixel count, and the picture in the workspace is not changed until Apply Resize runs.

Upload the file; Exact is selected and both fields already read 3000.
Check the Preview line, which reports 3000 by 3000 and about nine megapixels.
Press Apply Resize, then download the result from the header.

What the options do

Scaling up has limits: Reaching 3000 from a small source means the browser must add pixels, and added pixels cannot recover detail the camera never recorded. The result is the right size but may look soft at full zoom.
Why the lock is off: A square needs both sides equal, so preserving a non-square source ratio would defeat the purpose. With the lock off the two fields are written exactly as typed.

The size is ready before you touch anything, so a single Apply normally finishes the job. Feed it the largest source you have, because scaling a small picture up to 3000 cannot put back detail that was never there.

Common questions

Is 3000 by 3000 big enough to print?: At about nine megapixels it is comfortable for a large square print at typical viewing distance. It is not enough for a very large poster, where a higher source resolution is the only real answer.
What is the largest size the tool allows?: 8192 pixels on a side and fifty megapixels in total. Three thousand square sits well inside both, so it is produced without any automatic reduction.
Can I reach 3000 without stretching?: Only if the source is already square. Otherwise crop to a square first, or accept the stretch that Exact applies, or choose Fit if you would rather have the picture sit inside the square with the edges left shorter.
