Picture size reduction app?

[TheFamousEccles]

Hi, I am showing my tech illiteracy here, but I wanted to start a thread and post a picture in it, but all my pics are oversize. The "insert image" button will only allow 620 x 280 size pics to be inserted. I have tried Picasa, and the various photo viewer software in my laptop, but to no avail.

Can any of you suggest an app that will accurately reduce picture size so I can get cracking?

Cheers, Simon.

Almost any drawing programme will do it - if you've got a Windows PC you've probably already got Paint, which is extremely basic but would get the job done (Image -> Resize, or CTRL+W).

I personally use FastStone Viewer, which has a myriad of editing options including resize, cropping, DPI changes, watermarks and much more; and can also batch process if you need to edit multiple pictures.

I used gimp so far, but FastStone looks nice so I'll give it a go too now

I use PhotoStudio 2000.. Works great.

If you are using Windows you don't even need paint. Double clock a picture in file manager and it will open in a photo viewer application (not an app, apps are only for phones ). You can resize from there.

for windows try this one: VSO Image Resizer, Resize Pictures, Image Converter, Photo Resizer Light

Cheers all.

just use the existing program of windows "paint" and change the size of the picture via changing the percentage of it...

I like it how with Tapatalk there is no resizing necessary.
Of course this means that the picture has to be sent via your phone.
I find it very convenient.
