Reducing picture file sizes.

Recommended Posts

I have seen several people wonder about reducing photograph file sizes and I thought I would post some information about that. Pardon me if I am posting something already known.

There are many options but I have found the easiest one is Irfanview. I have used it for years, over several laptops,  and it is very easy to use. It is a free download and I have not had any problems with viruses either. The files I use are always .png.  As far as I know, it does not accept .doc files. 

I think there is a paid version as well, but  I have never needed it. Used it yesterday to post information about my stitching horse, with photographs.

Thanks SUP

There is a pinned topic in the "Computer Help" forum with several suggestions and helps. 

Also, there are lots of additional helps available on the web. 

On Windows PCs, you can use MS Paint to save files in acceptable formats and to resize photos.

You can set the file sizes your smart phone saves.

You can email files to yourself, generally able to pick a suitable file size.  Some have posted to Facebook or other blogs or social media sites and then downloaded files.

I think it is about time to re-write the above pinned topic with more current helps and tools.
