How to Resize an Image in Adobe InDesign

Use this interactive demo to learn how to resize an image in Adobe InDesign.

‍

‍

Here’s a quick and easy guide on how to resize both the frame and content of an image in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To resize an image (both frame and content) in Adobe InDesign, select the image to access its properties.
  2. Navigate to the top menu and check 'Auto-Fit.'
  3. Adjust the height and width to resize the image, then select the chain icon to maintain its proportions.
  4. See how your image resizes as you enter adjustments to its height and width.

📌 Why this matters

Resizing images properly ensures your layouts maintain visual hierarchy and professional polish across different output formats. You'll often receive images that don't match your design specifications, and manually dragging corners usually distorts proportions or crops content unexpectedly.

The Auto-Fit feature becomes particularly valuable when repurposing designs for different media – the same layout might need to work for both print brochures and digital presentations. This systematic approach to resizing saves you from recreating layouts from scratch and prevents the awkward stretching that screams "amateur design work."
