Image Resizer

Drag and hold to resize most images on the web!

Image Resizer is a powerful Chrome extension that lets you easily resize most images on any website. Simply drag while holding the right mouse button to increase or decrease image size, or click to restore the original dimensions. It includes additional controls like holding CTRL to disable dragging and using the mouse wheel while holding RMB to zoom in and out for a flexible user experience. Though highly compatible, some specific sites and popups may limit functionality. The extension encourages customization and contributions through its GitHub repository. Perfect for users wanting quick, intuitive image resizing without leaving the browser.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Image Resizer requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Image Resizer has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
