# Resize an archive

***

## Resize an archive using the control panel

On the archive's overview in the control panel, you can change its size under *Configuration*. Click on the dropdown menu that displays the archive's current size. Here, select the new size for the archive and click **Save**.

Note that it is only possible to increase the size of an archive. It cannot be reduced later. Also, note that the cost doesn't change until the new size is saved.

## Resize an archive using the API

To resize an archive using the [API](/platform/control-panel/api.md), use the [archive/resize](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#archiveresize) endpoint to resize an archive's size. Remember that it's currently only possible to increase the size.
