Preview then lets you select to resize the photo in pixels, inches, centimeters, millimeters or as a percentage of the current image size.

If you’re not happy with the resizing, you can do it again until you’re pleased with the outcome. Finally, you’ll want to save the resized file. If you don’t want to keep your original version as a backup, go to File > Save. If you want to make a copy with a different name, go to File > Rename. If you want to save a copy in a different file format, go to File > Export. From the Format dropdown, choose from JPEG, JPEG-2000, OpenEXR, PDF, PNG or Tiff.
