How to resize an image to 1500x1500
- Choose or drop your images above.
- Keep “Crop to fill” for an exact 1500x1500 result, or pick “Fit inside” to avoid cropping.
- Download the resized files individually or as a ZIP.
About 1500x1500 pixels
A 1500x1500 image is square, with an aspect ratio of 1:1, and holds 2.25 megapixels. At 300 DPI it would print at about 5.0 x 5.0 inches (12.7 x 12.7 cm). As a JPEG it usually lands between 247KB and 494KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.
Where 1500x1500 is used
A high-resolution square used for product photos, covers and portfolio images.
- Use JPG for photos and PNG for graphics with text or transparency.
- A square crop keeps the centre of the photo, so frame the subject in the middle.
- Start from the largest original you have. Enlarging a small picture makes it look soft.
Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 1500x1500 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 1500x1500, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 25% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 33%, a 16:9 screenshot about 44%, and a square image about 0%.
Quality and format
Check the result before you upload
Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 1500x1500, the subject is not cut off, and the file is small enough for where you upload it. If a platform sets a size limit, run the result through the online compression tool or choose a limit such as 200KB.
A tip for this size
Start from a photo at least this big. Enlarging a small image makes it soft. Need another size? Try 1200x1200, 2000x2000, 1080x1080, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image not exactly 1500x1500?
You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.
How big will a 1500x1500 file be?
As a JPEG, usually between 247KB and 494KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.
Is 1500x1500 the right size for high-quality square photos?
It is a widely used size for high-quality square photos, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.
Will a small photo look blurry at 1500x1500?
If the original is smaller than this size, the tool has to enlarge it, and the result can look soft. Start from the largest version you have.
