I have a freeware program that is called jpegsizer. It resizes them so you can post them here or on photobucket and so on.

Hope it helps

I don't think the problem is the software, photobucket has a resize program, and shows the reduction, however when I post on the forum they go larger than the 640 X 480.I know I must be doing something incorrect but can't figure out what.........Just posted on a car forum and they are reduced as indicated????

Here is a very handy tool to do it. called Powertoys for Windows XP Image Resizer. Great for posting pics that are too large!

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

Install, then right-click on an image icon, click Resize Pictures, and voila.

I agree on the Powertoys pic resizer, that's what I use.[sm=smiley20.gif]

It's so easy to use and I like the fact that it makes a copy of the pic in a different size but also leaves the original larger pic untouched. So you can post the smaller version of the pic and also keep the larger version on your hard drive to view things in greater detail on your monitor whenever you want.

Two things determine the size online.

Size and DPI. Dots Per Inch should be 72dpi. anything more is a waste.
