Resizing photos

[Fern]

Windows XP had a great prog. for resizing photos, it was so simple and easy to use, I'm looking to resize some photos to fit my website, so I 'googled' and found that a clone had been made of the XP resizing programme and it would work in Windows 7, so I downloaded it. When I resize a photo the measurements do change but there is virtually no difference from the original, so obviously the prog. isn't working properly.
I tried to resize in Photobucket but no joy there either.
Can anyone suggest a programme that is easy & simple to use, Thanks.

Google Picasa, you can even resize pictures in batch with its export function.

Thanks for that, I used Picasa for years until I found pictures of American 'stars' appearing in my folders.!! only Picasa could have put them there.

Try PicMonkey.com. It crops and
resizes nicely. As far as I can tell, you can only do one photo at a time, though.

 

[Fern]

Hi Virginia, yes, thanks for that, I found PicMonkey, it's a great programme.

I use photoscape Fern, it is free and works the best for me out of all I've tried. You could try it, I don't know anything about the one you've used, unless it was paint, it usually comes with the computer/windows.

Geez, this is from 2013, how did it get back to the top, oh well.

I'm glad you did because I was about to ask if someone could tell me how to resize pics in Picassa! Thank you!

If Microsoft has it, Open Office probably will too, hopefully, I'll go check.
Thanks everybody, quite a few to pick & choose from.

I use free Irfanview, it does everything I need to do except take out scratches. It is highly recommended in the help forum I read in.
