    But when you resize and save you lose the transparent background. How do you resize without losing transparency?

    Hi Jill! We have now our own image cropper in which you won’t lose your transparency and you can resize your images right in your browser: placeit.net/image-cropper

      Hello Valeria, In the Place it image cropper you can’t upload files that are bigger then 7500. So unfortunitly this is not a solution. I would love to here if you have any other solutions to resize images bigger then 7500px without losing transparicy

        Hey Koenh! Unfortunately, our cropper is limited to a max file size of 7500px 🙁 for the time being. Hopefully we’ll be able to change this soon!
