Resizing of images to make it larger often resulted in losing pictures quality, and the resulted enlarged image looks unprofessional and blurry with breaks of pixels.
Why images lose their quality while resizing?
Images often lose their quality when you resize the picture to enlarge. While doing so, the pixel map in which these pixels are located in the fixed location on the image is extended more than its capacity.
Hence, the pixels become visible on the images, which looks blurry. Don’t worry! Enlargement of the picture is possible from a small image without losing the quality.
