Use this page when Window Resize Manager does not show the expected dimensions, cannot resize the current Chrome window, or cannot save local presets.

Install from the Chrome Web Store

After the first listing is approved:

  1. Open the Window Resize Manager Chrome Web Store listing.
  2. Click Add to Chrome.
  3. Pin Window Resize Manager from the Chrome extensions menu.
  4. Open the toolbar popup from a normal Chrome browser window.

Troubleshooting

The Current Window Is Unavailable

Window Resize Manager works on normal Chrome browser windows. Chrome can block or limit resizing for minimized, fullscreen, extension, browser-internal, or restricted windows. Move to a normal browser window and try again.

Viewport Mode Cannot Measure the Page

Viewport mode uses a user-triggered one-shot numeric measurement of the active tab. Chrome can block script measurement on browser pages, extension pages, and some restricted schemes. When Chrome exposes safe numeric tab dimensions, the extension uses those as a fallback; otherwise it shows a local error and does not resize.

Maximized Windows Change State

Chrome does not resize maximized windows directly. When applying a preset or custom size, Window Resize Manager restores the current window to normal state and then applies the requested dimensions.

Custom Presets Are Missing

Custom presets are stored locally in Chrome extension storage. They do not sync through a Window Resize Manager account or cloud service. Removing the extension or clearing extension storage can remove saved presets and recent custom sizes.

Analytics Disclosure

Both Chrome build variants send explicit cookieless usage analytics to PostHog EU Cloud. Events do not include page content, selected text, full URLs, tab titles, preset names, exact dimensions, raw error messages, cookies, website storage, or stable personal identifiers.
