So this is a bit of a random question but I was trying to make a photo album but all my pictures are too large. Does anyone know an easy way to shrink pictures? I tried saving them to a different format but they are still way to big and I don't have any photo editing programs.

Thanks

Proberly not the best way but i find it quick, open you image in 'paint' (right click, open with, paint) then go to Image > resize/skew and enter 50 into the two top boxes then resave the picture (Make a copy of the picture first so you don't only have a lesser quality picture) I find if you only do the resize once the picture quality is pretty good but if you try and resize it more than once it gets really pixelated.

If it is still to big enter 75 into the first two boxes and try it then.

Yeah not a professional way to do it but it does the job!

I've been doing the photoshop thing for ages, and there are probably easier ways of doing this now.

Maybe try something like flickr or picasa. They may have an auto resizer and once they are all up online, they should all be the same size. Go to each photo and right click and save them in a new folder on your desktop, then upload them here!

What a great question. I, too, couldn't figure it out.

What you mean by this? as mention above one way to resize the picture is strecth them in paint and second way is just go to any uploading sites and select the size before uploading. Its easy!

Not for everyone! I'm not so tech-savy.
