Changing the size of an image in WordPress can be done in a few different ways, depending on where you are trying to change the image size:
1. Changing Image Size Before Uploading
If you want to change the size of an image before you upload it to WordPress, you can use an image editing tool like Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or even online tools like Pixlr. Simply open your image in the tool and use the resize or scale function to adjust the dimensions to your preference before saving and uploading it to WordPress.
2. Changing Image Size in the Media Library
If your image is already uploaded:
Go to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to "Media" > "Library."
Click on the image you want to edit.
On the Attachment Details window, you'll see an "Edit Image" button below the image preview.
Click "Edit Image." Here, you can scale the image to your desired size.
After scaling, make sure to click the 'Save' button to keep the changes.
3. Changing Image Size in a Post or Page
When inserting an image into a post or page:
Add an image block or click on an existing image within your editor.
You'll see image settings on the right sidebar where you can adjust the dimensions manually.
Alternatively, you can select predefined image sizes (Thumbnail, Medium, Large, Full Size) from the Image Size dropdown.
4. Changing Default Image Sizes
WordPress allows you to set default sizes for images:
Go to "Settings" > "Media."
Here you can specify the dimensions for "Thumbnail size," "Medium size," and "Large size."
These settings affect the sizes of images when they are uploaded. WordPress automatically creates resized versions according to these dimensions.
5. Using CSS
If you need the image size to change dynamically in different parts of your site (like making all images in a particular class smaller or larger), you can use CSS:
Add custom CSS in your theme or via a plugin. For example:
