Outline  Here are the steps to follow    Read the picture as a BufferedImage  Resize the BufferedImage to another BufferedImage that s the size of the JLabel  Create an ImageIcon from the resized BufferedImage    You do not have to set the preferred size of the JLabel   Once you ve scaled the image to the size you want  the JLabel will take the size of the ImageIcon   Read the picture as a BufferedImage  BufferedImage img   null  try       img   ImageIO read new File  strawberry jpg       catch  IOException e        e printStackTrace        Resize the BufferedImage  Image dimg   img getScaledInstance label getWidth    label getHeight            Image SCALE SMOOTH     Make sure that the label width and height are the same proportions as the original image width and height   In other words  if the picture is 600 x 900 pixels  scale to 100 X 150   Otherwise  your picture will be distorted   Create an ImageIcon  ImageIcon imageIcon   new ImageIcon dimg

You can try it   ImageIcon imageIcon   new ImageIcon new ImageIcon  icon png   getImage   getScaledInstance 20  20  Image SCALE DEFAULT    label setIcon imageIcon     Or in one line   label setIcon new ImageIcon new ImageIcon  icon png   getImage   getScaledInstance 20  20  Image SCALE DEFAULT       The execution time is much more faster than File and ImageIO   I recommend you to compare the two solutions in a loop
