914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Help - Resizing photos

Posted by: sixaddict Sep 17 2022, 07:55 AM

I used to be able to resize photos for posting via outlook….
Now with Gmail it doesn’t give me the option.
Anybody out there able to explain the basis to a non savvy user.
Thanks

The best I can offer, (a Q-tip here) is to email the photos to yourself and then save them to load into 914World. When you email them they either automatically resize or you can select what size to mail them as. Hope that helps.

Search on "resize image" on your favorite search engine gives lots of free applications. If you use Windows, Microsoft has a free downloadable app.

From the Microsoft "How to":

Do a search for 'irfanview'. Free utility, let's you do more things with a photo than you ever thought possible.
I use it to 'downsize' pictures I took with my phone (usually 4-5meg) to something under 1meg that the World accepts for posting.

Seems like that could work.
Thanks
