How do i make photos lower resolution

Question

i need to reduce photos that are a couple of megabytes into fairly low memory gif or jpeg files, while still looking ok. any websites that i can use without having to download any software, or would i have anything already on my computer that would be able to do it/

Answer 1

Loads of software out there.

I use xnview (google for it) with which you can reduce the size, quality, add effects and save in different formats. All free - nice software and a very small program.

Obviously if you use a website you have to upload and download the pics, so it will take as long if not longer than downloading a small program like xnview.

Answer 2

You can use the online site WebResizer. they have a 5mb limit on uploaded photos...

Gimp ~image editor,

if you have photoshop or other, you could open images and lower resolution, 72 is low, 300 is higher, if low already, then check size in pixels or inches, if large at 30x30 inches, you can try save copy at 25% lower,

there may be online tools, but have limits to sizes,
