Silly question - but how do I shrink my photos?!

[Kirstineridesagain]

Every time I try to upload a photo on here I am told the photo is too big. How do I shrink my photos, does anyone know?

Screenshot and crop

screenshot them, then crop the screenshotted ones! on my phone (iphone) screenshotting it gives it a black background at the top/bottom, so when cropped it shrinks it without losing part of the photo

Thank you, I’ll give it a go!

I read this as 'how do I shrink my potatoes' and was sorely disappointed when I realised my mistake

There's an app called "photo resizer" where you can upload them and it reduces the file size then saves them back to your phone

Or you can email them to yourself and reduce the size that way when asks what size you want files to be. Resave to phone and voila.

Send them to yourself using WhatsApp. It automatically shrinks the file size.

If you’re on an iPhone, click attach files then select the photo you want. Before pressing add (top right) press the icon bottom right. This takes you to options. Full size will be ticked. Tick large or medium instead. Then done, then add.

I have to crop and save even when I'm on site and take photos to email to my work email as my email won't let me send anything that's not been saved this way.

I'll just put this here for any other Samsung owners:

Click on the edit button (the pencil).

Click on the 3 dots in top right corner.

Click 'resize'.

Click '40%' and save.

Years ago I down loaded the free software Irfanview for resizing and posting pics to forums biut it is ages since I used it because my current phone will save smaller versions of picks from the camera along with the massive ones.

I've not used Irfanvew for ages, but it's great.
