Post by: Piecost on Apr 08, 2026, 11:32 PM
Hello all,

Can anyone recommend a simple and free tool that I can use to rescale photos for uploading to this forum?

I just use MS paint.  Just scale the image and it reduces the file size.  I think I use 20% and it comes out about right for images from my phone.

I use MS's Picture Manager but that's on a W7 PC so may be of limited help. Image>Resize to Document-Large brings 3Mb filesize down to about 2-300kb.
