How to resize an image to 24x24
- Choose or drop your images above.
- Keep “Crop to fill” for an exact 24x24 result, or pick “Fit inside” to avoid cropping.
- Download the resized files individually or as a ZIP.
About 24x24 pixels
A 24x24 image is square, with an aspect ratio of 1:1, and holds 576 pixels in total. As a JPEG it usually lands between 0.1KB and 0.1KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.
Where 24x24 is used
A very common size for icons in menus, buttons and toolbars.
- 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.
- Use a simple, bold design with a transparent background. Fine detail disappears at small sizes.
Crop to fill or fit inside?
Crop to fill always gives exactly 24x24 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 24x24, 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 24x24, 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
Design at a larger size, then shrink, so the result stays crisp. Need another size? Try 32x32, 16x16, 40x40, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my image not exactly 24x24?
You are probably using Fit inside, which never crops. Switch to Crop to fill for exact dimensions.
How big will a 24x24 file be?
As a JPEG, usually between 0.1KB and 0.1KB. Photos with lots of fine detail come out larger, and simple graphics smaller. Lower the quality for a smaller file.
Is 24x24 the right size for interface and toolbar icons?
It is a widely used size for interface and toolbar icons, but platforms and agencies change their rules. Check the current guidelines before you upload.
Will detail survive at 24x24?
At small sizes fine detail disappears. Crop in close on the main subject and use a simple, high-contrast picture for the best result.
