My pix are too big....how do I resize them? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have pix that are in the 4Meg range, and the max size for uploads is 100K.

How do I resize them to allow them to upload?

Thanx

If you have Windows XP there was a resize program that they came out with. I was prompted about a year ago or so and asked if I wanted to download it. To check if you have it, do a right mouse click on any picture and on the drop down screen see if you have "Resize Picture".

If you do, than you can make it small and it should down size it for you. Under properties you can check to see how many kilobytes the pic is.

This is the one I got from Microsoft. Scroll down until you see image resizer on the right hand column.

I did the right click move with XP and resize wasn't an option. Soooooo, I opened a pic with the picture editing program that I have had installed for almost 2 years and, voila!! There's a resize button!! Shazzam, Sargent! Golleee.

Thanks for all your help.
