Workshops: Resize photos with a few mouse clicks

Use Pixresizer, a free utility, to quickly and easily resize digital photos for sending via email

While most of us enjoy the benefits of high-resolution photography courtesy of inexpensive digital cameras, the resulting pictures can create very large files.

As most internet providers still limit the size of attachments that can be sent via email, resizing digital pictures to make them smaller is a chore that many of us are familiar with.

Pixresizer is a free program that can take a whole bunch of large pictures and then reduce them in size (and even change their file format) so they take up much less space ­ which makes them more email-friendly.

Best of all, it’s able to process entire folders and subfolders of photos at the same time, creating new, smaller versions while leaving the originals safely intact.

This Workshop explains how to get Pixresizer and then use it.
