Oops! But in that answer I did not directly mentioned about the danger of up-scaling the image (maybe in referenced answers), so I won't remove Solution 2 from this page.
Thank you.

In addition to Solution 1:

You can stretch whatever you want, but you should understand: when you re-sample images, you can have good quality only if you scale it down, or scale up just slightly. If you considerably scale it up, you will get too ugly pixellated image. Therefore, it's always better to have the original image of biggest usable size and scale it only down when required.

Vector graphics is much better, never gets pixellated and is processed very fast on all modern system, so prefer it in all cases except very small images.
