# Prevent enlargement
Disallows image upscaling when resizing with the width or height operations. When resizing, the image can be either scaled down or up depending on the original and target dimensions. If you want to ensure that the image is never upscaled - so the output will not be larger than the original, you can use the **org\_if\_sml** parameter.
**org\_if\_sml=1**
