Word for a Height/width changer

Trying to figure out a word for a device that changes width. Would it be correct to use a world like rewidther? Sounds strange right?

How about height? Would Reheighter be a word that could be used in english to describe a device to change height?

Would any other words be more suited?

Hi, I'd normally use more than a single word. but if I had to choose a single word, I'd probably say a widener a lengthener Clive

Thanks!

I want the word to describe that its possible to go both ways such as length and shorten. Or for the width both widen and make thinner.

I guess Ill try with two words like suggested.

Height Adjuster.
and
Width Adjuster.

Or anyone else has some better suggestions?

Could you give us the context, please? What is being made wider, narrower, taller or shorter?

Im trying to give names to devices in a game that can reshape the characters.
One device has the power to increase or decrease the width of the character but leaving the height unchanged.
Another device will shorten or lenghten the character without changing the width.

Please if you got suggestions it would be much appriciated.
