Can I resize an image (Drawing file) in Google Drive?

Question

Is it possible to resize an image (a Drawing file) within Google Drive?

I created a new drawing in Google Drive. When I download the image as a PNG file and then upload it to where I want to use it (Google+ profile), the image seems to be too large (Google+ is cropping the edges out). I would like to try to reduce the size of the image before downloading the PNG.

Note: I am doing this using only online tools since I am working on a Chromebook. Otherwise I would just use a desktop application to change the image size. Suggestions for other online tools that I can use to resize the image are also welcome!

Answer 1

I wouldn't know how to change the image within Google Drive, but there are several online services for re sizing images, I've use this one and works perfectly: http://www.resizeyourimage.com/

Answer 2

The Google Drive Drawings seem to be vectors. There is no "pixel count" for vector images.

I find that select all and resize works well for shapes but less well if I have text (especially if different text boxes have different font sizes- then I have to change the font size for each box after the resize.

Answer 3

You can resize the drawing in inches- centimeters, points or pixels in the File->Page Setup menu.

I know this question is currently nine years old but Google pointed me here so I will get a current answer in here.

Answer 4

What I use and works great is Online Image Resizer.

Simple, fast and allows also some effects.
