Garrulous Glaahk AethirWeb Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I want to use a custom drawn picture snip part of it and make it my avatar. But the size is too big, how do I make it smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Most image editors have a Stretch or Resize option which can be used to size an image down. Or if you're referring to file size, make it a .GIF (if it's got only a few colors) or either a PNG or JPG (if it's got a lot of colors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 on irfanview you can resize pic smaller (width and heigth) and even save picture for smaller size (taking less space on disk). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Harehunter Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Ditto. Plus the advantage of lossless compression. Now you guys and gals have got me doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thank you for that Lilith; it confirms my observations, and contradicts some - clearly outdated - advice I found on another site. Saved me from wasting my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
