Getting the best results

Powers of two are convenient

2048 is a power of two, which some graphics pipelines and game engines require for textures. If the image is destined for one of those, this dimension avoids padding.

Match the tablet exactly to avoid scaling

Supplying precisely the panel resolution means the device displays pixel for pixel. Anything else is interpolated, which softens fine detail.

What 2048×1536 is for

2048 × 1536 is the retina iPad resolution, introduced with the third-generation iPad and used across the range for years. It is also exactly double 1024 × 768, the original iPad size.

As a 4:3 frame at just over 3 megapixels, it matches phone camera proportions and fills a tablet screen edge to edge without any scaling.

Where this size is used

Retina iPad and tablet display, full-screen tablet imagery, 4:3 presentation at high resolution, digital photo frames, and A5 prints.

What to expect

A 4:3 frame at 3.15 megapixels — fills a retina tablet exactly and prints cleanly to roughly A5 at 300 DPI.

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about resizing images to 2048×1536 px.

The retina iPad models from the third generation onward, including the iPad Air and standard iPad lines. It is exactly double the original 1024 × 768 panel.

Older graphics hardware and some game engines require texture dimensions to be powers of two. 2048 satisfies that where 1800 or 2400 would not.

Yes, to roughly 173 × 130 mm at 300 DPI — about A5. For A4 you want closer to 2480 × 3508 pixels in portrait.

No. This is 4:3, so a 3:2 camera photo needs trimming at the sides. Phone photos, which are usually 4:3, fit exactly.

Entirely. Your browser performs the resize with WebAssembly and no data is sent anywhere.

2048×1536 px is 4:3 landscape at 3.15 MP, which prints at about 173 × 130 mm at 300 DPI. Anything not already in that ratio needs cropping first, or it will be stretched.

Scaling down uses Lanczos resampling, the highest-quality algorithm available in the browser, so the result usually looks sharper than the original viewed at the same size. Scaling up cannot add detail that was never captured.
