Downsizing photos

[Piecost]

Hello all,

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

I use Fotosizer  https://www.fotosizer.com/Download

Thanks, I will try it

I use Faststone - free and quite good.

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.

 It's too bad the photo upload function won't resize photos automatically.

 I can't post photos off my phone without a lot of work so I'm not going to bother. I guess signing up was a waste of time.

Morning Robert,
I'm not aware of any forum application that provides for image resizing.  Many won't allow attachments at all requiring parishioners to link to images on something like imgbb or a.n.other image hosting site.

If your 'phone is Android based (basically anything not made by Apple) then there are free/cheap Apps available on the various app stores that will do what's needed.  I expect Apple has something for its iPhones, but knowing Apple you'll pay through the nose for it.

Alternatively you can use something like

https://www.adobe.com/express/feature/image/resize

This is currently free to use and will let you upload your image and download the reduced size image to your machine.  You can then upload the smaller image here, not terribly difficult.

Cheers,
Lurk
