Use Irfan View.

I recommend Photofiltre. It is a free image editor with lots of useful features including a batch tool that will let you apply similar image operations such as resizing for a folder full of images at one go... For the purpose of viewing on the screen, a image size of equivalent monitor size ( 800x600 or 1024x768 ) is typically enough...

but these are big applications if you can change your image size by only the shortcut menu then nothing else can better than that.

This was my suggestion to use xp powertoy image resizer

A cool utility to resize image to any width and height Good Luck

USE any RESIZER to increase or decrease the the size of ur photos....U can use any one among the following s/w

Photo Resizer
FastStone Photo Resizer
High Quality Photo Resizer
Pragmatisoft Photo Share Resizer 1
Photo Gadget
EMCO Photo Reziser 1.0

I recommend you to use the first one coz its pretty small dwnld and free to use

when did the forum mod learn how to increase the size of avatar......

You can use PhotoShop CS or PaintShop Pro for resizing the image. There are also
other third-party softwares available, which does the job, also it's free.

Easiest is to use IrfanView.

[djmykey]

umm do this open the img in mspaint go to file>save. Thats it the size will be decreased as much as it can.

[altimate]

OKie
no need to use any damn 3rd party software
just open the image in PAINT and save as a different file type
Try out experimenting
use GIf as they are the most efficient
or use freebies like image compressors if u want it in a more complex way.

Why do people opt for the longer way if they have the shortest path?..

[prashanthnbhat]

save the image as JPEG

[QwertyManiac]

Uh huh, BMP files are huge, thats why your file's huge too. Now open it in MS Paint and go to File > Save as and in Save as type, give JPG.

[readermaniax]

Well dun install PS for resizing image if u dun have it installed...

use infraview

easist may be irfanview but i have found soft called advanced jpeg compressor which is paid one best in the business
it reduces size to ten times with out any significant loss in quality(not detected by human eyes)

[kirtan]

forget all about resizing the image.Keeping the same resolution change the value of image compression.Typically you should keep a compression rate of 60% for better quality image.This can be done by using photoshop.

if u play wit quality of photoshop if you really want to decrease size ie make 600 kb to 60 kb the photo will be glittery....
this is when the algorithm of this compressor software like AJC works

[Saket Parekh]

thx a lot to all the pll who replied

[n2casey]

If U don't want a third party s/w then use MS Paint as all suggested. U can also change image resolution in paint.
Just click on Image> Attributes. Make the changes as U want & then save as JPEG if U want a less size image or save as Bitmap if U want better quality image.
