Resizing an image is something we’re all going to have to do at some point in our digital lives. And whether you’re using Windows, macOS, or you’re rocking a Chromebook, there are ways to scale images up and down on each PC. Fortunately, these are all relatively simple methods too.
Windows 11 PC, Mac, or Chromebook
Windows Photos, Preview in macOS, or Gallery in ChromeOS app
While there’s a near-limitless world of photo-editing programs out there, we made sure to highlight tools in this multi-step guide that any Windows, macOS, or Chromebook user will have access to.
With that being said, here’s how to resize images in Windows 11, macOS Sonoma, and ChromeOS.
For Windows 11 PCs, we prefer to use the operating system's native Photos app. Follow the steps below to resize an image in Photos on Windows 11:

Step 5: To keep the aspect ratio, select the box next to Maintain aspect ratio.
As you enter a number into one of the boxes, the other box will automatically adjust its number in proportion to the number you just entered. If the aspect ratio doesn’t matter, don’t check the box, and enter the numbers in both boxes.
Step 6: Select the purple Save resized copy button.

Step 5: Select the blue OK button to confirm the new size.
Step 6: To save the resized image, select File on the menu bar.

ASUS has started selling its UGen Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics card in Europe, bringing its take on Intel’s workstation GPU to customers with a hefty €1,799 recommended price. The card is available in Germany and Austria, while ASUS lists it at CHF 1,799 in Switzerland.
Intel first introduced the Arc Pro B70 in March 2026, with its own branded model starting at $949. ASUS’s version arrives several months later with the same core GPU architecture but a different cooling design and a higher power rating. The price also places it well above Intel’s original starting point, although the two prices are not directly comparable because ASUS’s European figure includes VAT.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
AI giants have a growing autonomy problem on their hands. A new Axios report has revealed that Anthropic's Claude recently accessed publicly available Georgia vote count without human authorization, sparking fresh concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
