Hi! I would love to put one of my product pics as a little avatar for my forum posts.

I see it has to be no larger than 50 KB, and whatever the px's were. I tried using Pixresizer, but it doesn't lessen the KB, only the px's.

How do you suggest I accomplish this? Thanks in advance!

That seems very strange. Maybe you are supposed to save it as a thumbnail or something.

I am not familiar with that program so unfortunately I cannot help you much.


The way I do it is I open the image file in a PowerPoint file and shrink image by dragging corner in. When it is a tiny image at the center I save it as jpeg file. Then open it with my image editor and cut the edges and save as jpg.

There may be simpler ways to do it. This is simple to me cause I don't have to download any programs or anything. I just use what I have.

Oh, you do give me an idea to try using a different program I have, I'll test it! Thanks!

You can go into paint or a super free program even better than paint is www.paint.net and go to tools, attributes, size, reduce from there.
Another great program is www.blingit.com, a 14 day free trial and 29.95 if you like it
