While all of these iPhone image editing tools are decent, what none of them can do is resize the image in a carefully customized way - nor can they be used to control image resolution.

To ensure a given picture is of high enough resolution, you'll need a third-party photo editing app.

How to resize an image on an iPhone using Image Size

Image Size is one of the best iPhone photo-resizing apps, and as long as you're willing to view the occasional ad, it's totally free.

Once you launch the Image Size app and grant it access to your photos, using it is easy.

Tap the icon of a photo at the top left of the app screen (it looks like a mountain inside a box) and select the photo you want to resize from your Photos library.

Now select the measurement format you wish to work with (from pixels to millimeters to inches) and enter the size you want the image to be, noting the maximum allowed.

Image Size allows you to control both the horizontal and vertical size of a photo, and lets you work with multiple measurement formats.

As you enter the new size values, you'll see the new size of the image displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Once you are happy with your picture's shape and file size (and you have made any other edits within the app), tap the arrow facing down to a line at the bottom of the app to save the resized image back to your Camera Roll.
