How to Resize and/or Send Photos

Ideal photo size is 640x480. Any larger photos will end up shrunk down anyway and will only cause you problems with uploading or emailing.

If you know for sure that your photos are already 640x480, it's easiest to just email them.

How to check photo size

There are 3 quick ways to find out what size your photo is:

  1. If you're using Windows XP, you can simply move the little mouse arrow over the photo icon, and it should tell you the size (photo needs to be on your desktop or in a folder on your desktop, and not a "shortcut")
  2. Right click on the photo icon and choose "Properties", then select the "Summary" tab
  3. Double click on a photo to open it, then right click on the photo, and left click on properties. It should tell you how many pixels wide and high the photo is.

How to resize photos

If you don't have a photo editing program, here's the easiest way to resize photos. It's a Microsoft program you can download for free that works with Windows XP (Vista users see below). Simply follow these steps:

    Click here to download program

    Click "Run", and follow the instructions

    Once it is loaded on your computer, all you will have to do to resize a photo is right-click on the icon of the photo (you don't even have to open it), select "Resize Pictures", and choose "Small 640x480". The program will make a copy of the photo for you that is the smaller size, and your original photo will remain unchanged. Your new photo will be in the same folder, and it's label will be the same as the original, with the added word "(small)".

(Note: Don't look for a program to click on to resize a photo; there isn't one. You access the program by right-clicking on the photo icon and selecting "Resize Pictures".)

For Windows Vista users, there is a free program that should work just as well by VSO Software Click Here to download

Resize and Transmit option

If you are having problems and can't get the resizing program to work, you can resize and email photos all in one step. Click for online Resize & Transmit option

The only problem with this option is if your internet connection is very slow, and you are trying to send multiple large photos all at once, it will take a long time to transmit.
