6 Best Ways to Increase the Resolution of an Image

Images taken on smart devices typically tend to have a lower resolution than digital cameras. If you want to know how to improve the resolution of an image you’ve already taken, then the app Image Size might be a good choice. Image Size, available for both Android and iOS, is a simple app that allows image resizes with lots of control. Upon launching the app on a smart device you’ll notice that there are five control options at the top of the app. Click on the top-left picture icon, or in the white square in the middle, to navigate to your local images on the device. If you’d prefer to take a photo ready for resizing then the camera icon next to the picture icon will start the picture-taking process (with permission from the user). Initially, the image will be locked in a 1:1 aspect ratio, so click the chain link icon in the middle of the Width and Height text boxes to remove this. Next, type into one of the text boxes to resize the image in pixels. Alternative units of measurement can be selected from the tabs running across the window at the top, with options for pixel, greater than or equal to pixels, millimeters, centimeters, and inches. Next to the options for mm, cm, and inches are two hamburger buttons which offer up an array of preset sizes from you to choose from, which makes it easier to keep things consistent if printing for a frame such as 6 × 4, for example. Save the image to your phone by clicking the down arrow in the bottom-left, share it with others via the share button in the bottom-center, or print it using the printer icon in the bottom-right.
