An Easy Way to Resize Images

Posted on Nov 25, 2006
Tagged in Untagged 

When I have to resize an image for use on a web page, I open up Fireworks. I realize that most people don't want to buy that kind of software when they only need to to do a tiny job. Up till now I would recommend GIMP, a free open source tool.

Over at Amy's blog I notice a new discovery, a tool called QuickThumbnail. It allows you to upload and resize an image quick and easy.

Give it a try.

I liked Amy´s way to resize pictures. My way to resize pictures it to insert the original into a Word-document. It´s easy to insert many pictures at the same time. Then I save the document as a webbpage. In that way I get a webbpage and all pictures in two shapes, a big one and a small one. The size of the smaller one depends on the area you shaped the picture in the Word-document. I hope you understand what I try to explane. It's a very easy way to do it, and you make a lot of pictures smaller at the same time. Nobody I have shown this to, knew it. That's why I write about it to you, even though you seem to know everything. smilies/cheesy.gif
