Change the size and orientation of an image to:

• Match the recommended image resolution to insert an image into a website.
• Adjust the image size to insert into a specific area in a document.
• Adjust the image orientation to create a printed document.

Resize an Image

Note: After resizing an image, you cannot move or edit flattened objects in the image.

1. In Snagit Editor, select Image > Resize Image.

   • Percent: Scale image based on a percentage of the current image size.
   • Pixels: Scale image based on screen pixels.
   • Inches: Scale image based on inches.

   • Resolution: Set the density of pixels in an image. Resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch).
   • Use Resampling: Change the number of pixels in an image. Enable resampling to add pixels to an image. Disable resampling to remove unnecessary pixels which can decrease the file size.
     Note: Use other resizing options before enabling Use Resampling as this option can permanently degrade the quality of the image.
