Microsoft Image Resizer PowerToy - Freeware

Large images can take a long time to upload. A solution to this is to resize your files to a more reasonable size before uploading.



The maximum size Photoblog currently stores your photographs in is 760 pixels in width, and the resizing is done after the file is uploaded.

However, if you resize your photographs to 760 pixels in width before uploading, you can save yourself a lot of time while seeing the same results.

There are obviously many ways to resize your photographs, and most people might use an image editing program. However, Microsoft has a little PowerToy for Windows XP users that can help you automatically resize batch photographs with just a couple clicks.

Install this PowerToy from Image Resizer Powertoy Setup and you will see an extra "resize pictures" option when you right-click your picture files. Choose this option, set the new size, and click Ok. This does not overwrite your original files, but instead you can have them save to new filenames.

* This tip can help you make presentations with pictures smaller (resize the pictures with this tool and add them to the powerpoint presentation).
