une mise a l'echelle automatique de l'image
automatic image re-sizing


Explanation:
Depends a bit on the context, but this os one very common version.

Might also be 're-scaling', but impossible to be sure without more context

auto-ranging


Explanation:
Given the limited context, this probably isn't it. It's more normally used for numeric scales (like a digital voltmeter) than images. Nevertheless, I profer it for your consideration :)
