    It depend on what you mean by resize ;) See here for more.

    Personally, I'm not sure why you would want to resize with css. Firstly, you might run into problems with image constraints. In other words, if you alter the image it might distort and becomes horizontally stretched, vertically squished or just look terrible at larger sizes. Secondly, if your image is 100 kb file and you want to resize the image it down to a smaller image size via css it will remain a 100 kb file. This impacts page load time.

    Unless you need to resize via css for some specific reason, I would generally say that it is not the way to go. Just resize the image in a program like Photoshop or Gimp (it's free).
