I used to have a program, freeware stuff, that would resize your pics. Really easy to use, etc., but I've lost it :mad:

Anyone got a link or something similar? I found a pic for my avatar I want to use but I gotta size it down:

LOL, yea, it gets automatically resized if it is too big... You can do it in "paint" too if you want... This only works good when shrinking a picture though, not making it bigger :)

Here's your Avatar:

There's an 80 x 80 pixel limit on avatars. This is 80 x 53.

I resized it in Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/downloads/).

B&M, it rejected my pic when I tried due to it's size.

I finally found what I was loking for- PIXresizer. Good program. It's supposed to be a 40-day trial deal but my home pc has had it working for a long time... hope it keeps on my laptop, too!!

Interesting... There must be a size at which point it can no longer compress the image... I am 100% positive that I put a larger picture in before and it was resized... Oh well, it does not really matter anyways since you got everything figured out :o

Holy stretched thread Batman! LOL :laugh:
