One toolkit.
Your choice.
A Swiss Army knife for image resampling.
Classic filters. GPU speed. You choose the method.
Works in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, plus After Effects. Resolve setup: included Fusion macro ↗
Different filters. Different results.
Classic resampling methods familiar from scientific imaging.
From Bilinear and B-Spline to Mitchell, Lanczos and Kaiser.
Pixel art has
options, too.
Compare Nearest, Scale2x, Eagle and FSR 1 EASU on the same pixel artwork. Choose a method on each side and drag to explore the edges.
Downscaling is part of the toolkit.
Explore how Bilinear and Area handle a reduction.
The right choice depends on the image and the task.
The finishing touch. Your amount.
Compare sharpening off, RCAS and Unsharp Mask after the same resize. Choose 50% or 100% on either side. Sharpening changes local contrast; judge the texture and edges together.
Resize in steps. In either direction.
Compare 1, 2, 4 or 8 passes through intermediate sizes. Keep the final dimensions fixed and choose the result you prefer. More passes are a choice, not a quality guarantee.
Downsample
Reduce in stages · Bilinear · 1536 → 256 px
Stairstep upscale
Enlarge in stages · Lanczos 3 · 256 → 768 px
Resizing glitch effects.
Push Content Aware into expressive distortions. Sweep multipass from 1 to 16 and back while the output dimensions stay fixed. Let the image bend, stretch and shift.
Output: 384 × 512 → 192 × 512, displayed at the original width for comparison. Footage: Ron Lach / Pexels.
Choose the filter.
Build the process.
Multipass downscale. Reduce through intermediate sizes.
Stairstep upscale. Enlarge in progressive steps.
Post-sharpen. Finish with optional RCAS or Unsharp Mask.
Set the dimensions, choose a method and control the number of passes. Compare the result. No single filter suits every image.
