Resize imported imagesLearn how to resize imported images in Premiere Pro.

Imported images usually have a higher resolution than imported videos, so they appear cropped when viewed on the Timeline in Premiere Pro.

You can individually adjust the scale of the clips to match the sequence frame size. Or you can use the Set to Frame Size command to quickly resize the image.

When you use the Set To Frame Size command, the native pixel resolution of the image is preserved, letting you see the sharpest resolution when you zoom in on an image.

Before you begin

Import an image into Premiere Pro and add it to the timeline.

1. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (macOS) an image in the timeline.

Note:

You can also select multiple images in the timeline at once by holding Shift and clicking the images.

2. Select Set To Frame Size.

Result

Premiere Pro will resize your imported images and toggle off the Scale To Frame Size settings for improved playback performance.
