I know I have posted this question before...but I'm blonde and still struggling to do it.
I want to place a pic in my ad, but each time I try, it comes back telling me that the size of it is too big...wey hey (not normally something I would complain about).
How do I winzip? I don't seem to have the correct programme on my PC. Can I download it from the net, if so where?? (for free)

Not only blonde, you are also in the wrong section.
Moving....
Why are you trying to zip your pics anyways? Why don't you just resize them? confused
you need to either crop the pic, resize it or change the reselution
if you want me to do it for you PM me and i'll send ya my email address

Try an online photo editing

Edit, CnP the above address, i'm crap at hyperlinks :P
...or there's a splendid, free on-line .jpg cruncher available ! After it displays the "crunched" photo in your browser, just right-click the image (ctrl-click for Mac) and save to disk!

Try this if you're using XP.
Double click on your jpeg. This should open it in microsoft photo editor.
Right click on the image. This will bring up a box, in the box it says Cut, Copy, Paste and Properties.
Click on properties, this gives you the size of the current picture in Bytes and how many pixels there are height and width.
From this you can estimate what percentage you have to reduce the picture to achieve about 150 x 110 pixels. (Don't worry you can check as you reduce it).
Click on ok (that gets rid of the box)
Now on the main toolbar click on image then choose resize from the drop down box.
A box resize will appear with height width and percentages.
There is a drop down box marked Units just above the cancel button. click on this and change it to pixels.
Now all you have to do is reduce the percentage size until you have reduced it enough 150 x 110 pixels.
Press ok and save it with a slightly different name to the original. You should then be able to upload the pic.
Hope this helps.

Just download this, install it then right click on your picture and you should get the option to resize it. It's simple and works well, giving you a picture that's a decent size image-wise but very small in Kb's
Thanks everyone. I've done it...not as blonde as I thought..!
