Choose by workflow

Intent-specific guidance
Where each resize workflow is stronger
Choose Canva for graphic design and collaboration; choose Pictobank for a focused, inspectable resize batch.
The 1080×1920 target uses a 9:16 frame. Fill determines whether mismatched sources are contained, cropped, padded, or distorted.
What Fill does here
The output covers the target frame with a centered proportional crop.
No-enlargement behavior
A source that is too small remains below the target, and the predicted dimensions are shown before processing.

Pictobank and Canva: choose by workflow
Pictobank is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Canva. The name is used only for an honest product comparison.
Where Canva may be stronger: Canva is stronger for collaborative layouts, templates, media libraries, and adding design elements after resizing.
Where Pictobank differs: Pictobank shows the exact resize mode, enlargement policy, and per-image output prediction before batch export.
Decision rule: Choose Canva for graphic design and collaboration; choose Pictobank for a focused, inspectable resize batch.
Resize behavior
The page starts with FILL
The four choices below map directly to Pictobank’s canonical browser resize geometry.
Keep the whole image
Preserves proportions and keeps the complete source inside the target boundary.
Cover the frame
Preserves proportions and crops centered excess so the target is completely covered.
Add a frame
Keeps the complete image inside an exact canvas with transparent or white space.
Force exact edges
Changes source proportions to meet both target dimensions without crop or padding.
Accurate limitations
Boundaries stated before processing
No zero-loss promise, no hidden enlargement claim, and no assumption that every browser or destination accepts every format.
Features, limits, and account terms can change; review the cited official source before deciding.
The public embedded workflow accepts up to 30 static images and 100 MB per file; device memory can impose a lower practical boundary.
Browser canvas export is sRGB and does not preserve the source file’s original embedded metadata.

FAQ
Pictobank vs Canva resize questions
What configuration does Pictobank vs Canva load?
It opens with 1080×1920, Fill, enlargement prevented, and JPEG output.
Will every output have the exact target dimensions?
Only when the source is large enough for the selected policy. Undersized files remain smaller while enlargement is off.
Can several source sizes be processed together?
Yes. Each selected image is inspected and predicted independently; the batch never assumes every file matches its first image.
Are filenames or image pixels sent to analytics?
No. Analytics contain page-level and aggregate outcome data, not filenames, image bytes, source dimensions, object URLs, or signed URLs.
