Can Photoshop Resize Any Image?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 4:02 pm

It is often assumed that Photoshop can resize any image, but this is not always the case. Images that are created in vector programs like Adobe Illustrator can be resized to any size without losing quality, but images that are created in raster programs like Photoshop cannot.

When you try to resize a raster image in Photoshop, you will notice that the image begins to lose quality and become pixelated. This is because Photoshop is essentially taking the original image and making it smaller, which means that there are fewer pixels per inch. So, while Photoshop can technically resize any image, doing so will result in a loss of quality.

PRO TIP: No, Photoshop cannot resize any image. Images must be the correct size and resolution before they can be edited in Photoshop.

Conclusion:

While Photoshop can technically resize any image, doing so will result in a loss of quality. So, if you need to resize an image without losing quality, you should use a vector program like Adobe Illustrator.
