Image Resize

Resizes a picture. Choose how to set the new size: an exact width and height, the longest or shortest edge, a megapixel budget, or a multiplier. A mask can ride along and gets the same resize, and the new width and height come out as numbers you can wire onward.

A new node starts on Megapixels at 1 MP, with Fit on fit, Multiple 1 and the lanczos filter.

Target modes

Target (target_mode) picks the mode. The card shows only that mode's size row, and the other size values are ignored.

• Width × height (width+height): The two Size fields, W and H (width, height). Their input sockets sit with the node's inputs, under image and mask; a linked one greys its field out. 0 keeps that source dimension, and with only one set the other follows the source aspect.
• Longest edge / Shortest edge (longest_edge, shortest_edge): Scales until that edge equals Edge (edge_length) exactly; the other edge keeps the aspect. 0 keeps the source size.
• Megapixels (megapixels): Scales (aspect preserved) until width × height is about Budget (megapixels) million pixels. 0 keeps the source size.
• Scale factor (scale_factor): Multiplies both dimensions by Scale — 0.5 halves, 2.0 doubles. 0 keeps the source size.

Fit

Fit (keep_proportion) decides what happens when the target aspect differs from the source. It only matters in Width × height mode: in the other modes the picture always keeps its shape, whatever Fit says.

• stretch: Distorts straight to the target.
• fit: Shrinks the target box to the source aspect — the output can be smaller than requested, but there are never bars and nothing is cropped.
• cover (cover_crop): Fills the target completely and center-crops the overflow.
• pad: Fits inside the target and fills the rest with Fill (fill_color: hex, R, G, B, one grayscale number, or a CSS name; a color the node cannot read becomes mid-gray). The new bars are 1.0 in the mask output — the same generated-area contract as the pack's other pad nodes, so it feeds an inpainter directly.

Notes

• Multiple (divisible_by) snaps each output dimension to the nearest multiple (never below one step) — 16 for WAN, 8 for most latent spaces. It wins over exact proportion, so a dimension can shift by up to half a step. It applies even when everything else says "keep the source".
• Bars only appear in Width × height mode with Fit on pad and both W and H set. In every other target mode the box is derived from the source's own aspect, so there is nothing to letterbox against: the proportion modes all resolve a divisible_by snap with an invisible sub-half-step resize, and the mask output stays black. A Width × height box with a 0 in it follows the source the same way, so pad adds no bar to it. With both set, bars (white in the mask) fill whatever the picture does not cover. That includes a bar a pixel or two wide when the size is rounded, for example a 1000×700 picture with W 1000, H 700 and Multiple 16 becomes 1008×704 with a 2 px bar.
• Filter (interpolation): lanczos (PIL, in float — the sharpest all-rounder), bicubic, bilinear, nearest (pixel art, hard masks), area (best for strong downscales). A resize that changes nothing passes the tensor through bit-identical.
• The mask output is the input mask through the same transform, plus the pad bars. With no mask wired it is black, except for pad bars, which are white. IMAGE is BHWC, MASK is BHW, and batches flow through frame by frame.

Outputs

• image: the resized picture.
• mask: the mask, resized the same way.
• width / height: the new size in pixels.
