Source:

Create a device for the original image, note the /dev/loop20: 

sudo losetup -f --show org_partition.img

	/dev/loop20

Create file of a size you want (here 4500M) check your medium Disk type maximum file size‎ 

dd bs=1M count=4500 if=/dev/zero of=new_partition.img

Create a device for the image, again, note the new /dev/loop21 

sudo losetup -f --show new_partition.img

	/dev/loop21

Copy data from the original image to the empty image, if=source, of=destination (PROCEED WITH CAUTION): 

sudo dd if=/dev/loop20 of=/dev/loop21

	7761920+0 records in
	7761920+0 records out
	3974103040 bytes (4,0 GB, 3,7 GiB) copied, 46,4243 s, 85,6 MB/s

Disconnect the devices: 

	 
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop20
sudo losetup -d /dev/loop21

Resize the filesystem to available space: 

	 
resize2fs -f new_partition.img

  Resizing the filesystem on new_partition.img to 1152000 (4k) blocks.
  The filesystem on new_partition.img is now 1152000 (4k) blocks long.

Check and allow the tool to fix errors: 

e2fsck -f new_partition.img
