How to Shrink Your Photos to Fit the Forum 800 Pixel Size

<< < (2/3) > >>

vtsteam:
If you don't have a photo editor app that works with your computer, tablet, or phone, you can also use an online editor. I've just tried the following website, and resizing with it was easy ( worked as of 11/2022):

https://www.img2go.com/resize-image

The Page will look like the image below. To do the resize:
1.)Drop your file into the blue area on that webpage. Wait for it to fully upload.

2.) Set the settings as below: JPG type and 800 pixels WIDTH

(Ignore the height figure of "-650" it doesn't matter. The "72" DPI shown below is also is not important)

3.) Hit START and it should automatically resize the picture and ask you where you want to save it on your computer.

Windows in all its shades has ‘paint’ built in which makes resizing extremely simple.

Wouldn't cropping the image(s) also be something to consider? To squeeze them to show only the essential?

Well, I know, sometimes the surrounding area is as important as the part(s) or things that the image shows.

On some forums I've seen people posting huge images, where the actual thing, that they want to show, would take only about tenth of the area of the posted image.   

Maybe it's just me, but I've had this habit to crop out excess parts of the image, which do not represent the subject(s).   

vtsteam:
Yes it does Sorveltaja, but this is a how-to for resizing to make it understandable for people who don't know how.

Just a quick shout out for Flexxi, a batch resizer program. Its a single exe file and will recrop multiple images then store them in a different directory. Very fast, <1Mb, cost = free. I jut put a copy in each of my photo folders.
