Hi ,I want to put a small picture (avatar ?) onto this site. I have a picture but it is 320 x 240 d.p.i. and it needs to be 80 x 80 . How do I reduce it to fit? I use the public libraries which has "paint " available on the desk top will this be of help?
thanks , hope I put this in the right place.

I went to the Microsoft web site and downloaded (free) a program that I think is called image resizer.
HTH!

That would be this one:

Only works with Windows XP

Hi. If the library computer will only allow you to use Paint, then see if this helps. I just looked for it in search engine. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic42698.html

I've not tried it myself 'cause I use free programme called IrfanView, but if Paint is all you can use, then check it out.

p.s. Just tried it. Works for me

Or, upload it to a free image host such as www.**********.us and put a link to the image in a thread such as this and someone will resize it for you. ;)
