Quick answer

BatchSet resizes images to a size in centimetres, millimetres or inches, free and entirely in the browser, with no upload and no sign-up. It converts the size to pixels at the chosen resolution (72 to 600 DPI; pixels = centimetres ÷ 2.54 × DPI, so 3.5 × 4.5 cm at 300 DPI is 413 × 531 px), resizes the photo to exactly that and writes the DPI into the JPG or PNG so it prints at the requested size. When the shape differs it can crop from the centre, fit inside a white border or stretch, and leaving one side blank keeps the photo's proportions. Several photos can be resized at once and downloaded as a ZIP. A higher DPI does not add detail the photo never had.

Frequently asked questions

How do I resize an image in cm?+

Type the width and height in centimetres, choose the DPI and press Resize. The tool turns the size into pixels (centimetres ÷ 2.54 × DPI), resizes the photo to exactly that and writes the DPI into the file. For example, 3.5 × 4.5 cm at 300 DPI is 413 × 531 pixels.

How many pixels is 1 cm?+

It depends on the DPI. At 300 DPI one centimetre is about 118 pixels, at 96 DPI about 38, and at 72 DPI about 28. That is why a size in centimetres needs a DPI before it means anything on screen.

Which DPI should I choose?+

300 DPI for anything you will print, such as photos and documents. 96 or 72 DPI when the image is only shown on a screen. If a form gives both a size in cm and a size in pixels, match the pixels.

What if my photo is a different shape?+

Choose what happens: crop to fill from the centre, fit the whole photo inside with a white border, or stretch it. Leave one side blank and the other follows the photo's own shape, so nothing is cropped or stretched.

Does a higher DPI make the photo sharper?+

Only if the photo already has the detail. Asking for 600 DPI makes more pixels, but enlarging a small photo cannot add detail that was never captured. For a sharp print, start from the largest original you have.

Are my photos uploaded?+

No. The resizing and the DPI writing both happen in your browser, and the photos never leave your device.
