All I can say is “God Bless You!”. I had the same problem as Brittany so want to thank her for asking the question. Trying to create my own web site and am “such” a novice. This will save me hours!! Thank You!!!

I have been trying for ages to re-size photo’s. I was told about your site and I have found it so easy to re-size. Thank you very much

Ed: I hadn’t heard about Irfanview when I wrote this post but I’ve since learned about it, downloaded it and use it frequently. I tend to use it for viewing images but I’ll look into its resizing capabilities too.

Thanks for the tip!

I found the easiest “Irfanview”, a (small download) free program that you can find here: http://www.irfanview.com
You can do so much more with it, but as far as reducing photo size:
Once you have your Irfanview program installed, open it and click on “file” then “open” and a window (with a preview window included!) will open in which you then can select the photo. Open and then you go to “image” then select “resize” (or quicker still: press “R” while holding down the Ctrl key). Finally choose the size you want. Note: You can also convert a whole batch of them in one go: Go to “file” and select “Batch conversion” and then select the photos you want to resize. It is an excellent free software program and you can do “Photoshop-like” things and much more. Slideshows and the lot. Enjoy and good luck!

Brittany: Try resizing by percent (the second instructions) instead of by absolute. I could have sworn both ways resized the image when I tested them, but I just tried it on Windows XP and the first way just cropped the image.

When I try this it just cuts my photo to the size I want it instead of shrinking it. I don’t know what the problam is?
