How to resize an image to 152x152

- Download the resized files individually or as a ZIP.
About 152x152 pixels
A 152x152 image is square, with an aspect ratio of 1:1, and holds 23,104 pixels in total. As a JPEG it usually lands between 2.5KB and 5.1KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.
Where 152x152 is used
A size used for iPad home screen icons on older models.
- Use a simple, bold design with a transparent background. Fine detail disappears at small sizes.
- Save icons as PNG so edges stay sharp. Use JPG only for photo avatars.
- Check the result at its real size, not zoomed in, before you use it.
Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 152x152 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 152x152, 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 152x152, 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
Use a solid background. iOS rounds the corners itself. Need another size? Try 150x150, 144x144, 167x167, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image not exactly 152x152?
You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.
How big will a 152x152 file be?
As a JPEG, usually between 2.5KB and 5.1KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.
Is 152x152 the right size for iPad home screen icons?
It is a widely used size for iPad home screen icons, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.
Will detail survive at 152x152?
At small sizes fine detail disappears. Crop in close on the main subject and use a simple, high-contrast picture for the best result.
