Resize a logo for profile image - danamiruna6 - 04-18-2020
Hi! I want to properly resize a png logo image https://imgur.com/HIacS9q for Instagram and Freelancer image profile.
The size is 180x180 for Freelancer but this is the result when I tried to resize it in Gimp https://imgur.com/a/VFZEVfO .
This is another post about this, maybe it will help you understand better

How can I resize the image without distorting the logo?

As I can see on the first screenshot, the text logo has bottom-to-top orientation (your are working with the display rotated 90° and image size is 96x400 pixels).
Do you want to keep this orientation, or transform the logo to have left-to-right text orientation ?

Made your logo with some on-line utility? Do not know which Gimp you use? Looks like 2.10.18 to me.
As tmanni pointed out the logo is originally vertical. To change to horizontal use Image -> Transform -> Rotate 90 anti-clockwise To scale the Image to 180 pix depth use Image -> Scale

Well, you can't. If you scale the 96x400 image to 180x750, pixels are interpolated, always going to be some loss in quality.
You could totally remake the logo to fit 180x180 - something like this.
Graphic logos are best made as scale-able vector graphics (SVG) using something like Inkscape. Then import into Gimp at any size you want (apart from tiny when interpolated pixels look terrible)
Text looks after itself. For 180x180 it will be small, never going to be great. FWIW the font looks close to 'ubuntu'. Your logo, you should know the font you used.
I can give you a start, the logo as an svg. Attached.
