Resize Image to 1680x1050 (WSXGA+)

What is 1680×1050 (WSXGA+ 16:10)?

1680 × 1050 is WSXGA+, a 16:10 resolution of 1.76 megapixels. It was the standard of 20- to 22-inch widescreen monitors in the late 2000s and the high-resolution option on 15-inch MacBook Pro models of that period. Many office and home setups still run such screens, and some Mac “looks like” scaled modes use the same workspace.

At a glance: 1680 × 1050 pixels, aspect ratio 16:10, 1,764,000 pixels in total (about 1.76 megapixels). The tool opens with exactly this size preset and the Fit with background mode selected, so most images need no extra settings.

How to resize an image to 1680×1050

1. Add your images. Drop them on the upload area, click to choose files or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, BMP, TIFF and SVG are accepted, many files at once (up to 80 MB each).
2. Check the framing. The size is preset to 1680 × 1050 with Fit with background: the whole picture stays visible and empty space is filled with white, black, light grey, any colour you pick or transparency (PNG, WebP). Prefer no borders? Switch to Crop to fill and choose which part to keep.
3. Pick format and quality. Keep the original format or convert to JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF. The quality slider starts at 90%; alternatively set a Target size in KB and the tool lowers only the quality, never the 1680×1050 dimensions.
4. Compare. Drag the before/after slider across the preview to check sharpness and framing.
5. Download. Save each image, or click Download all (ZIP) for a batch. Files are named name-1680x1050 automatically; the pattern and a DPI value can be changed under More options.

Where 1680×1050 is used

• Wallpapers for 20 to 22-inch 16:10 monitors
• Screenshots and documentation made on 16:10 displays
• Presentation graphics for 16:10 screens and projectors
• Artwork packs that ship several wallpaper sizes

Images with a different aspect ratio

16:10 gives more height than 16:9. With the default Fit with background a 16:9 wallpaper keeps its full width and gets bands of about 52 px above and below; Crop to fill instead removes around 10% of the width so the screen is covered. For example, a 4:3 phone photo (4032 × 3024) set to 1680×1050 with Crop to fill loses about 17% of its height (top and bottom edges); with Fit with background it becomes 1400 × 1050 px with bars of about 140 px on the left and right.

Tips for a sharp 1680×1050 result

For a wallpaper, crop rather than fit, and use Keep: center for landscapes or left/right when the subject sits off-center. Start from an image at least 1680 px wide; enlarging a 1280-pixel picture shows on a 22-inch monitor. Use JPG at 90% for photos and PNG for flat artwork or screenshots.

Free, private and made for batches

Everything happens in your browser: your images are never uploaded, location and camera data (EXIF) are removed from every result, and there is no sign-up, watermark or daily limit. Need a neighbouring size? Try 1920×1200 or 1280×800; the custom image resizer handles any other width and height, and the image compressor shrinks the file further if a website or email still rejects it.
