re-sizing pictures

jassi_9

hi i have some photo's stored in a "my documents" folder

they are just over 2MB in size

but i need to reduce them to below 1MB in size....


how can i do this? is it possible?

i took them using my own digital camera and uploaded them with the software provided, and then transfered them to another folder, and they all seem to be around 2MB

can i get the file size down?

thanks

I use a neat little program called VSO Image resizer..... works a treat for me, have a Google around..., keywords resize photos, there are a few free ones around

Open the image with Irfanview here for free and then do File, Save As and move the Save Quality slider across to the left, say 70% and give a new filename when saving as a jpg. Some experimentation may be required with the percentage figure but the filesize will reduce significantly.

Irfan can also batch resize pictures - very useful when you have a whole folder full of images that you want to resize.

Another standalone resizer here which has batch resizing/renaming and other features:

Or download their photo editor which has the same features built into it:

For future use, if you're using Windows XP then they made a powertoy called Image Resizer that you can download and run that is very good for dealing with not only individual pictures, but entire folders of them quickly..

I would like to resize a picture to make a skin for Bebo. I downloaded Ifran, but when I try to put in the dimensions I want it keeps changing them. It won't let me put in the dimensions I want. I would desparately like to use this picture for my Bebo skin.
