I have been given a disc containing photos, but each picture is around 3.5MB. When I upload my own photos they're usually just a couple of hundred KB.

The photos I have are in jpeg format. How can I reduce their size before I download them on to my pc??

  1. There's so many ways, one way to reduce the size of photo is thru Paintbrush:

    - Go to Programs > Paint

    (or u may right-click the file, select Open with Paint)

    - Open the photo

    - Click from menu Image > Stretch/Skew

    - Type in Horizontal and Vertical desired size, i.e. 25 %

    (sample size of a 2MB file will be reduced to 49 KB, depends on how much % you type in)

    - Save the file.

    Good luck!


  2. Once their on your computer, you can resize them with an editing program. (Such as photoshop, or windows photo gallery, or microsoft picture manager.)

    Uploading them to photobucket.com and resizing them there would work as well. And you can also edit them there as well.

    Hope I helped.

  8. I don't know if you can reduce the size of them before you put them onto your computer. But once you put them onto your computer. You can reduce the size but just changing them to a .gif file and deleting the .jpg file. The size does go down :) But you'll need a photo editing program like photoshop or paint shop pro or something :)

    Or just resize them. Which will also bring the size down. :)

  9. Here is a free on line photo resizer i have used it and found it easy to use and offering a good free service. no software download needed.
