Resizing images

resize2

Did you know how easy it is to resize your images ? Resizing (or standardising the size) is often useful before sending images by email or before adding them to a website such as an online shop. The best way of doing this is to use Microsoft’s Image Resizier. This can be downloaded free from here.

The Image Resizer tool is listed on the right hand side column. Click on the ImageResizer.exe link to download the tool. Then install the tool on your PC.

How to use the Image Resizer

  1. Copy the full size images you want to resize into a separate folder.
  2. Select all the images.
  3. Right mouse click and choose the “Resize Pictures” option.

Example:

4. The following window will display. I recommend selecting either Medium or Large for the image size. Press Okay and the Image Resizer will create copies of all your images that are a fraction of the size.

5. The resulting new images are smaller than the originals and are now ready to attach to an email or upload to your website.
