Resize Asset

The Resize Asset feature allows you to create a new version of an image with different dimensions from the original file — ideal for social media, web banners, or optimizing storage size.

With the feature, you can:

• Choose from preset sizes or enter custom dimensions.

• Add background colors for transparent PNGs.

• Select output file format and adjust compression quality.

• Save the resized file as either a new version or open iamge editor for further advanced editing.

How to use Resize asset

🔹 Step 1: Open the Resize Asset Window

• Go to the Asset Detail Page of the image you want to resize.

• Click the “+” icon (next to the asset name).

• Select Resize to open the resizing interface.

🔹 Step 2: Enable and Select Size

• After clicking RESIZE, the resize configuration panel will appear.

• You can choose from the following options:

  • Preset Sizes: Choose one of the standard size templates: Small ($512×auto$), Medium ($1024×auto$), Large ($2048×auto$), or a Template (e.g., $2048×2048$).

  • Custom Size: Select Custom to manually enter your precise desired values on the right panel:

    • Width: The desired width (in pixels).

    • Height: The desired height (in pixels).

• Allow Enlargement to Fit (Optional) : Enable this option if you want the image to be enlarged to fit the new size, even if it may slightly reduce image quality.

🔹 Step 3: Advanced Customization

Expand the ADVANCED section to fine-tune the output file:

• Add Background (for PNGs): Applies a background color (using Hex code) to transparent PNG files. Click the pencil icon to enter the Hex code (e.g., #ff0000).

• Fit: Define how the original image fits into the new dimensions:

  • Cover: Image will be scaled to cover the area with cropping, preserving aspect ratio.

  • Contain: Image will be scaled to fit inside the area with added letterboxing, preserving aspect ratio.

  • Inside: Image will be scaled to fit inside the area, preserving aspect ratio.

  • Outside: Image will be scaled to fit the area inside of it, preserving aspect ratio.

  • Fill: Image will be stretched to fill the area.

• Tyepe: Select the output file format ass JPEG or PNG or WEBP or TIFF

• Quality: Set compression quality for the output file (for JPEG). Value ranges from 1 to 100 (100 = highest quality).

• Anchor Point: Specify the focal point to retain when using Fit: Cover (e.g., Center, Top, Bottom, Left, Right)

🔹 Step 4: Start Resize asset

Once all settings are configured, besides the basic (default) save option, HIVO offers an additional powerful choice to continue your workflow:

• Basic Option (default): START RESIZE

  • Saves the asset immediately as a new version with the selected dimensions.

• Advanced Option: OPEN IMAGE EDITOR

  • Opens the resized version in the dedicated Image Editor for further advanced editing (e.g., adding text, applying complex effects).
