Resizing Images for Avatars/Websites/Emails

Every time I see someone post a really large picture on a website I always try and show them this. The same goes to when my dad bought a brand new camera. He'd send me HUGE photo's which always needing editing so I could see them on my screen.

Now though, its much easier.

MicroSoft have launched a FREE image resizer.

Image Resizer (521KB) Download Link

Once installed:
Right click on the image you wish to use.
Select RESIZE PICTURES
Choose the size you require or click advanced for a custom size.

Click OK - your picture is now resized.
Now all you need to do is upload it/email it/ etc.

This is especially useful for when you want to add custom avatars to use on this website.

I have tested this program with Windows XP and its really good.

Any feedback appreciated.
