Sizes people usually need for a PNG

For a logo in a website header, 400–600 px wide covers high-density screens. For an email signature, 300 px is plenty and keeps the message light. App icons and store listings typically ask for an exact square such as 512×512 or 1024×1024.

If a platform gives a required size, match its longer side with the maximum dimension field. Because the tool keeps proportions, an image with a different shape will not hit both numbers; crop it to the right ratio first.

Why small PNGs can look soft, and how to avoid it

Shrinking averages neighbouring pixels. On photos that is invisible. On thin lines and small text it softens edges, and below a certain size fine detail simply disappears. A logo with a tagline in small type is the classic case.

The fix is to avoid extreme reductions in one step from a huge source, and to check the result at its real display size, not zoomed in. If the small version is unreadable, the design needs a simplified variant, not a different resize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The output stays in PNG, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels are preserved, including soft edges around a logo or cut-out.

This tool only scales down. Enlarging a PNG invents pixels that were never there, which blurs edges. For a larger logo, go back to the vector source (SVG, AI) and export at the size you need.

No. You set one maximum dimension and the other follows, so the proportions stay intact. A 2000×1000 image limited to 800 becomes 800×400.

Roughly in line with the pixel count. Halving width and height leaves a quarter of the pixels, and the file usually drops to between a quarter and a third of its weight.
