640 x 480 Resizer
640 x 480 pixels is VGA, the original 4:3 PC display standard. It survives as the default frame of basic webcams, the shape of standard-definition video, and a compact 4:3 export for retro projects, previews, and low-bandwidth contexts.

VGA: The Original Standard
640 x 480 was the baseline PC display resolution for years, and it established the 4:3 aspect ratio that shaped screens, photos, and video for decades after. That history is why so many formats — SD video, old screenshots, early digital photos — arrive at exactly this size.
Webcams, Embeds, and Retro Projects
Entry-level webcams still capture at 640 x 480 by default, and standard-definition video shares the frame, so plenty of modern content is natively this size. Retro-computing and emulation communities use the same canvas deliberately, matching original hardware output pixel for pixel.
Small 4:3 Done Right
When a placement genuinely calls for a small 4:3 image, resizing down to 640 x 480 from a sharp source beats uploading an arbitrary crop and letting the destination squash it. Avoid the reverse trip: enlarging a 640 x 480 source for a modern full-screen slot produces visible softness that no filter repairs.
