Use this interactive demo to learn how to change image dimensions inside the WordPress block editor.

Quick summary

Resizing an image in WordPress is done directly inside the block editor using the Block Settings sidebar or the drag handle on the image itself. This step-by-step process lets you control exact image dimensions without needing a separate image editing tool.


Steps

  1. Navigate to Posts in your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Select your preferred post and click the ellipsis icon to open its options.
  3. Click Edit to open the post in the block editor.
  4. On the right sidebar, under Block Settings, locate the options to adjust image dimensions.
  5. Drag the circle button on the image to resize it to your desired dimensions.
  6. After resizing, click the Save button to store your changes.
  7. Your image has been successfully resized in WordPress.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to resize images in WordPress is essential for maintaining fast page load speeds, consistent post layouts, and a professional visual appearance across your blog or website. WordPress's built-in block editor allows users to resize images directly on the canvas or through the Block Settings sidebar, eliminating the need for third-party image editors. Properly sized images improve Core Web Vitals scores, which directly influence search engine rankings. This workflow is particularly valuable for content creators and site managers who regularly publish image-heavy posts and need a quick, reliable way to control image dimensions without leaving the editor.
