Fill & crop keeps the shape and trims the overflow. Stretch distorts the image.
Lanczos and bicubic average many surrounding pixels, which keeps fine detail clean when shrinking. Nearest copies single pixels and suits pixel art.
Any good downscale softens the image slightly. This adds a little edge contrast back. Applied only when the image gets smaller.
On by default, so a size larger than the original is still honoured. Turn it off to never upscale — enlarging cannot add detail that was never captured.
Higher keeps more detail and produces a larger file.
Free resizes one image at a time.

Practical use-case depth
This 256x256 page is tuned for square layouts for feeds, product cards, and profile imagery. It is especially useful when you need exact outputs for avatar and profile image requirements.
Exact-dimension export helps reduce platform-side recropping and prevents inconsistent rendering between desktop and mobile placements.
Profile and identity intent
This size is optimized for avatars and profile assets where clarity at small display sizes is critical.
Preset-specific quality profile
The 256x256 target equals roughly 0.07 MP at a 1:1 ratio. This gives this preset a distinct balance between frame shape and detail density.
In practice, this behaves like a compact-density asset profile tuned for standard-web outputs and profile and identity workflows.
