256×256 image converter online free — Free & Private

Square 256×256 exports in seconds — popular for app store icons, game inventory tiles, and medium-size avatars. A 256x256 export (square) fits app store icons, game assets, and square social avatars.

After upload, confirm the sidebar shows 256 and 256. PNG files download as PNG; other inputs save as high-quality JPG. When composition matters, crop to square first, then return here for the exact 256x256 export.

If a portal also caps file size, run a compress pass after resizing. For dimensions outside 256x256, use the main Resize Image hub on Rankify.

Tool Options & Settings

Resize by exact pixels (width × height)
Resize by percentage (25%, 50%, 75%, 90% presets)
Maintain aspect ratio toggle
Single image per session
Compression presets: Extreme, Recommended, Low
Batch upload — process many files at once
Before/after quality comparison slider
Download each file individually or as a ZIP

Note: Single file only — not batch. Does not preserve WebP/GIF/HEIC as output type (except PNG). If compressed output is larger than the original, the original file is returned unchanged. Multi-page TIFF/ICO and animated GIF use the first frame only.

How It Works

Upload an image and the editor pre-fills width 256 px and height 256 px. Click Resize image to scale the file in your browser. PNG uploads stay PNG; JPG, WEBP, GIF, and HEIC export as JPG at 92% quality. Toggle “Maintain aspect ratio” when you want proportional scaling instead of a fixed 256×256 canvas.

Example Input

A 3024×3024 phone photo in JPG format.

Example Output

A 256×256 square JPG (or PNG if the source was PNG) ready for upload.
