We restrict the size of pictures for an obvious reason. What are the free software's out there you guys use to optimize the pictures with?

photoscape is so easy to use. u can reduce size of file, crop, color adjust. Free program. Love it. If U need the file send me a PM with your email and I will send U the file to install.

I use Linux and GIMP lets me resize. I find that 1200 X xxx is a perfect size for uploading to forums. Gets the photo down to around 300 kb, depending on how big the "xxx" value is. I always make sure that the 1200 is the larger of the two numbers.

Here is a sample.

I use Fotor it's free and full of features. Works great on resizing images!

I use an app called "image sizer" for my iphone & ipad. Works well enough.

On my desk top I use a online program called Image Optimizer


Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. –Ronald Reagan

Good morning... I used the Irfan View 4.23 for many years- It's free and very easy to use, and you can even add text size, color, position on the picture....

What size am I restricted to, I am rather new at this.

This is from the section on adding a pic to your signature line, I think.

"Please do not upload photos larger than 800 KB and 600 x 800 pixels.
Only the following file types are allowed for photos: gif, jpg, png."

Ran out of time to edit...

This is from the (Control Center) - (Manage My Photos) - Upload a new photo.

"Please do not upload photos larger than 800 KB and 600 x 800 pixels.

I use http://adionsoft.net/fastimageresize/ It's free, and drop and drag easy.

Thanks

All I do is open the file in Paint and crop and size it and then downsize the image till it can be uploaded. Works like a charm and you can keep the original too!

Posting a pic only accepts one with an http/ address. Mine are on my HD and don't have an address. What about that?

Architex,
Don't use the URL links icons...use the "Attachments: Upload File..." right above the message box to the left. (with the paperclip looking icon beside it)
You can upload multiple picture files, but there is (of course) a size limit. If you try to exceed that limit, it will warn you...so it's pretty straightforward.

hello I use the cell phone with an app called "escalar fotos" I look for the image and I compress it. so I do them directly from the cell phone without using a computer.

 

[Whitetail]

For the life of me..I cannot figure out how to pull pictures over from my iPhone10?? I have Photobucket, but haven't used it in many years and for whatever reason ..it won't open?
I haven't a clue.

Turn camera on (phone). Look for a gear symbol at top of screen. Open and set size.
