Thunderbird email client can resize pics to a more suitable size. If the pics are huge, it will ask to resize them down.
Paintshoppro is a good picture editing package that allows resizing of pics.0 -
I've used software called ImRe - http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Multimedia_and_Graphics/Misc__Graphics_Tools/ImRe.html.
It's quick and easy to use, and you can resize multiple images in one go (this is what I wanted so that I could upload them to my web site and to Photobox etc much quicker). I was able to resize them without any perceptible loss of quality.0 -
The attached is thought by many to be the best all round free photo software easy to change image sizes just download free from majorgeeks.

Irfanview and Picasa are two free downloads which offer the ability to resize. Both are good viewing programs for photos too.

You just right click on the image file(s) you want to resize, choose the size and away you go.Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
