Window Resizer Extension

This extension re-sizes the browser's window in order to emulate various resolutions. It is particularly useful for web designers and developers by helping them test their layouts on different browser resolutions.
The resolutions list is completely customizable (add/delete/re-order).
You can set the window's width/height, window's position, preset icon (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop) and even the option to apply the new dimensions to the entire window or just to the viewport.
The extension also features customizable global key shortcuts, an option to export your settings and import them on another computer and more!

Please report all bugs (or suggestions) using the support link on the extension's details page.

Josh Lee (ID: 000000274b311542) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/11/2024 GREAT TOOL, NICE FEATURES! Holy cow this thing may seem too advanced, I just wanted a single button that toggled from full screen to small, so I can see behind it, but once you play with the settings for about 5-10 minutes, you can make it do exactly what you want, just because it is so flexible. Tiny complaint: The ONE feature I don't like is HOW the hotkeys are set (hotkey for presets 1, 2,3) what if you change the order of the presets? And why when I am managing the presets, and right click one, can I not change the hotkey from there?

Sean S (ID: 000000dd2580d765) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/27/2023 Did exactly what I wanted. I'm not a web developer so I have on interest in the preset screen sizes but I DO want my windows in Windows placed exactly on my screen, and this can do that. However, it takes some fiddling because windows in Windows don't actually start at 0,0. More like -7,0 (for M$ Edge) and must be sized to 1934,1087 to take up the full screen. And, once you have manually sized the window to your wishes, this tool can capture that size into a preset. 👨‍🍳💋

Tuukka Rekonen (ID: 000000704f9a2737) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/02/2023 This used to work, but now after latest updates as i used after a while it does not work at all. Just makes incorrect sizes of my presets and shows small red note that chrome could not resize. This used to be good and worked, but now not even worth one start as sizes not able to match. Going to remove this and install another or use my very old separate html/javascript method. Maybe this was made in order to sell Pro version, but no thanks.

Eric B (ID: 0000003cd6499ada) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/10/2023 Most buggy extension I've ever downloaded. None of the dimensions are actually correct if you verify them against other web tools that actually work.
