Method 1: Use the Shortcuts App (Recommended)
For a built-in method that becomes a reusable tool, you can create a shortcut in the iPhone's Shortcuts app.
- Open the Shortcuts app and tap the plus sign (
+) to create a new shortcut. - Add Action and search for "Resize Image".
- Tap on "Resize Image" and configure the desired image size parameters, setting one dimension to 1000 pixels (you can set the other to "Ask Each Time" or a fixed value).
- Tap
Done. - (Optional but Recommended) To make the shortcut easily accessible, press and hold the shortcut, tap the details (info) icon, and enable Show in Share Sheet.
- To use it, open the Photos app, select your photo, tap the Share icon, and then select the Resize Image shortcut you just created.
Method 2: Use a Third-Party App
Apps like "Image Size" (available on the App Store) are designed for this purpose and are often very simple to use.
- Download a photo resizing app from the App Store.
- Open the app and import the photo from your camera roll.
- Enter the desired dimensions (e.g., 1000 pixels for width or height). Ensure "Scale Proportionally" is enabled to maintain the aspect ratio if needed.
- Save the newly resized image back to your photo library.
