change jpeg to fit A4

abbas5001

I scanned a document to my computer and stupidly saved it as a jpeg. I now need to print it off but when i print it takes 4 a4 pages rather than the 1 a4 it should be. i know normally you can just click and drag the dimensions of objects in ms paint but it's proving difficult, plus since it's a document i want it to print like the original not with bigger margins and stuff.

any help appreciated!

If you go into Print Setup on the program you are using to print the jpeg, there should be an option to fit it to 1 page.

What is the program you are using by the way?

Keep the original, maybe have a copy of the same image but called something different, but you can rescale in paint. Open up the image then go to Image -> Stretch/Skew

Then the resize, choose something like 25% Horizontal, 25% Vertical.

Print preview it.

Just looked on my MS Paint.

Go to Page Setup as I said and there is the option to put the image onto 1 page. Fit to 1 page by 1 page.

I've attached an image file showing where it is for you.
