How can I shrink the size of photos so they can be downloaded onto My Space?

Question

I downloaded IrfanView like it said, but I don't know how to use it.

Answer 1

Irfanview.

If you have MSoffice, goto Microsoft office tools in your programs section of the start menu.
Click Microsoft Office Picture Manager, it does a lot of stuff.
Good luck.

Answer 2

If all you are interested in is downsizing your photos, this is a very simple and one of the best programs I have ever used. It is near the bottom of the page at the Microsoft Power Toy page and is a small program. Just download it, right click on any picture and select Image Resizer from the menu. It will give you three or four sizes to select plus one that you can set yourself and will make a copy of your picture but won't mess with the original. That way you never mess up your original copy.

You don't have to download anything if you have windows xp. Just go to the photo, right click on the photo, open up ms paint. Then when you are in it, go to stretch resize and have it go down to either 50 percent or 25 percent, depending on how big the pic is.

Answer 4

What I do is on paint, open the image which you particularly desire, as quickly as opened there is an determination referred to as resize and skew represented with the aid of a button with 2 squares. Resize the image there. Or use yet another software.

Answer 5

you don't have to download anything. just go to http://www.imageshack.us. you upload which picture you want to use. there is a scroll down bar there that lets you resize it to however big you want it, and then there is also the option to erase the frame it adds to the picture where it says how big it is (example: under the photo it puts like 10x8 or something, you can have that removed so it's just your photo and nothing else). then, you click "host" and it gives you about 4 different codes to use for a variety of things. you just use the one that says for websites or something like that... or blogs. the one that starts and ends with these < >. good luck. that's what i use. it's great.

Answer 6

Well, you don't need to download anything. If you have MS Paint, open the picture with that, right click » stretch/skew » Horizontal % vertical %. Make sure the percents are the same. (e.g. horizontal 50% vertical 50%).

If you have the whole picture selected, drag the white space to crop the picture. If you don't have anything selected, it will do that automatically.
