Resize any image directly from a URL
Pass ?url= with any publicly accessible image address and the resizer opens with the image pre-loaded — no upload step required. Images are fetched server-side, so CORS restrictions never get in the way.
How to use
Single image
The page fetches the image server-side and opens the resize tool with it pre-loaded — ready to set dimensions, percentage, or a social media preset.

Multiple images
Each image is loaded into the same resize session; apply your settings and all files are processed together, then available to download.

Server-side fetch · No CORS restrictions · Supports bulk resizing via multiple ?url= params
Why use the by-URL entry point?
Skip the upload step
When the image is already hosted somewhere, pass the URL directly and land straight in the resize settings.
No CORS restrictions
The server fetches the image on your behalf, so browser CORS policies never block you.
Batch resize from multiple URLs
Repeat ?url= for as many images as you need; all are resized with the same settings in one pass.
Shareable and linkable
The URL encodes the entire session. Send the link to a teammate and they open the same images in the resizer instantly.
Fits into automated workflows
Generate the by-url link programmatically in a script, CI pipeline, or CMS integration to resize assets on demand.
Same resize experience
All resize modes — pixel dimensions, percentage, social media presets — are available exactly as in the main tool.
How it works
Build the URL
Start with /image/resize-image/by-url, then append ?url= followed by the full image address (repeat for multiple images).
The image loads automatically
The page fetches each URL server-side and opens the resize tool with all images pre-loaded, skipping the upload screen entirely.
Resize and download
Choose your target size — exact pixels, a percentage, or a social preset — then click Resize Images and download the results.
