You can trying using both width and height CSS properties.

img {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
}

In addition to the previous answer, it's good to use percentage values in anticipation of responsive design. If you set your width to a percentage, specify that your height be auto, so that the images don't get skewed trying to stretch to rigid pixel dimensions.

img {
    width: 50%;
    height: auto;
}
