Hello

I would like to list some items on ebay and would like all my pictures to be the same size to make my listing look neat and professional.

I have cropped my images and have uploaded them to photobucket but do not know how to resize them all to exactly the same size

I would appreciate any help to be able to do this.

Many Thanks

MRS T :D

    Many ways of doing it as no doubt you will soon find out, but a neat little program here:

  • Picasa is another option. It lets you export your pictures at specific sizes, though you can only reduce them, not enlarge.

    Hi there,

    your best bet is to download the microsoft "image resizer powertoy".

    If you google "windows powertoys" it should be the first link to come up.

    Once that's downloaded (from the list on the right) and installed, you can just right click on the image(s) you want to resize, select "resize pictures" and specify one of the preset sizes or chose custom if you prefer.

    Thanks so much for all the quick replys. I knew there must have been a way :-)

    I will have a look at all of these options, as I want to list my items tonight and make my listing look nice and neat.

    thanks again

    do you know if the powertoys work on windows vista please I think it mentions something about xp
  • I used the microsoft powertoy when I had XP and can highly recommend it, you don't open a separate program you jhust right click the photo you are working on and one of the options is to resize, it literally takes a split second.

    My new PC is Vista and the powertoy doesn't work in Vista so I found a very similar resizer - http://www.vso-software.fr/products/image_resizer/ This works in the same was as the powertoy ie you just right click the photo you're working on and one of the options is to resize. You can do batches of photos by highlighting all the pics you want to resize, one right click and choose your size.

    Fabulous spookylukey I will try that then as I think this one sounds the simplest for me as I am not really great at these things.

    hi sorry to be a nuisance

    but I am having troubles with this. I do not know what height an width pixels are.

    I just want a nice square size picture anyone any ideas on the sizes

    thank you once again
  • The 320 x 200 is small, 640 x 480 is medium, 800 x 600 large and 1024 x 768 is full screen size.

    If i'm linking to photobucket on ebay to show detailed pics I use the 800 x 600, for all other pics I use the 640 x 480 as these come out the size of a nice large old fashioned printed photo.
