Sizing handle

Also known as a handle, sizing grip, or resize corner, the sizing handle is a graphical indicator in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows users to click and drag on the indicator to resize the object. For example, many windows in Microsoft Windows have a sizing handle in the lower right corner of the window, indicating that it can be clicked on and dragged to resize the window. To the right is an example of what this may look like in Microsoft Windows.

When working with an image editor image editors, handles are small black boxes on each corner of an image that allow the user to increase the size horizontally, vertically, or both. As can be seen in the example picture to the right, this image editor has eight handles, one on each corner and in-between each corner.
