Resizing Images
A common request from our clients is help on how to resize images so that they're suitable for the web. Web images need to be:
- small in filesize, so they download quickly
- the correct width and height to fit properly on the page
Image Editing Software
There are many software packages available that help you edit and resize images. Our Client Downloads page has a list of Free Image Editing Programs. They are all simple to use and come with detailed instructions, but our favourite is Picnik.
