I would like to know if either Photoshop Express or Lightroom Moble apps have the ability to resize photos (in pixels) ? I need an app that I can standardize on across iPhone/iPad and Android Phone/Tablet. If not Adobe any suggestions. Thank you.

Found it. Resize was there as the last option. Now the resized photo has a watermark, though. I would have to pay more to get rid of the watermark.

It’s 2025, and Adobe Photoshop Express still doesn’t offer the most basic feature I actually need, photo resizing without a watermark. This is baffling, considering even Microsoft Paint, which comes free with Windows, has had a resize option for decades.

If a free, decades-old program can do it, I don’t see why a product from Adobe can’t. I’m sure there are simpler, lightweight alternatives on Mac that cover this basic functionality without locking it behind unnecessary restrictions.

Goodbye, Adobe.

In 2025 there seems to be no change. Resize is about the only feature I would need for my phone. Crop is in Android gallery already. Everything else is something I would do with computer.

What a joke this is, it's 2024 and the most basic of features missing.

Stupid me, paying for Adobe software and I can't even edit a passport photo down to a resolution compliant with the local government. Now I need to download some other editing software. Gives me an incentive to finally get rid of my Adobe subscriptions. Time to move on.

Golly, I complained about this so many years ago, and it’s still a problem.
I have no sense of pixel numbers, but I do conceptualize kb & meg. Why
can’t this way of understanding volume of message size be incorporated in
Acrobat, which I otherwise love?

The programs' shortcomings that prompted the original post here two years ago still exists today.

I used Photoshop for many years and loved it, but I downloaded Photoshop Express today for the first time and I'm just about to uninstall it. (Desktop version).

It has a few features and a simple interface that I thought would work fine, but I can't get past the really unbelievable lack of image size information. There's a resize function with a slider allowing me to resize via the long side - in 200 pixel increments. Not great, but it could be usable - if the program showed me the other side. How exactly am I supposed to know if I want to resize the pic if I DON'T KNOW WHAT SIZE THE PICTURE IS NOW? What a joke. Uninstalling.

Exactly - I just complained about it now in 2020. There is an app called PhotoCompress which I've been using that kind of works. My son-in-law works at a mine north of the Artic Circle and they have a 6 Meg limit on email. If I'm sending him pictures I have to trial and error to get it right. I think it's a disgrace that Adobe will not fix this problem.

I am also here in 2020 and rather suprized to know that given all the options this little peice of software has it can't make a picture smaller...

What in the world were they thinking?

For the amount of money we pay Adobe monthly the fact that Adobe can't add the option to resize images in either Light room CC mobile or PS express is absolutely ridiculous. I can't say how many times I've needed to scale down an account pic (pintrest for example to 165x165 pxls) and the fact I have to go on to my computer to resize an object when I am holding a phone powerful enough to help pilot a space craft is ludicrous. Good thing the iPhone X (and the soon XS) is more expensive than some mid range Macbook Air but all I can do with my Adobe apps is edit my photos more or less exactly the same way as directly in the Instagram app already. Thanks for giving us a couple redundant apps that really serve no purpose to your design base.

Hi,

You can crop your photos to a particular aspect ratio in Photoshop Express App. But they don't have ability to resize as per your specification in pixels. Sorry for inconvenience.

Thanks,
