Someone to enlarge/resize image without damaging quality

Hey guys,

Pretty much self explanatory, I'm a long term lurker who has finally taken the plunge. I need someone with Vector preferably who can take an image and enlarge and resize to a sufficient quality for reading. It shouldn't take two minutes to do.

Best regards.

    Irfanview can resize pictures without quality loss. For vector graphic files i'd recommend Inkscape. Both programs are free.
  • Would anyone be able to do that for me? I'm not very technically minded and am struggling slightly.

    It's always worth pointing out that you can't increase the amount of data in an original image without introducing pixillation. If the image has been previously reduced in size, and you want to increase the magnification again, that's a different matter.

    What operating system have you got?
    Try right-clicking on the file and selecting Open With, and seeing what programs you have available. At least one of those might enable you to resize...
