I need a way to make an image bigger without distorting it. Is this possible?
The image size is 125x125, and I need it to be 200x200.

increase the size, resharp it, fix distortion, resharp, fix colour. it wont stay as sharp but itll do if youre doing it for like a layer in an avatar.

But All I have is mac paint I'm trying to resize an album cover.

Make someone else do it for you.

Irfanview can do it nicely

Gimp has mac ports. Its free

I like this idea better.

Please and thank-you.

Thats pretty much the quality I got by just increasing the size. Thanks anyways

Slight Enhance


edit: all depends on what youre using it for if youd want it sharper or not, upscaling images is usually a bad idea though, try finding it bigger and downscaling O_o

Oh woops, only read half of it, all you really have to do it up the contrast a bit.

Made a couple of versions, take your pick:

For comparison the first version is just resized, no other filters applied:


The other 4 have several image enhancement filters applied, saved in different qualities:
(Maybe I overdid the sharpening a little. I can easily reduce it if you want.)

only 256 colors => pretty small filesize | jpg compressed => fairly small filesize


best quality => 60kb filesize . . . . . | version featuring transparency

With some effort I could improve the transparent version. Especially the text part. But that's not a matter of applying simple filters.

And lastly maybe you should consider going for this, as it is available in much better quality:

Thanks, and that last one is a different album.

Figured as much. But is it really important which girl there is? The text is easily replaceable.

However if you like you could take parts of the guy from the HQ pic and replace them with the other.
