How to re-size your digital photos online?

With the advent of high resolution digital cameras, the pictures that we click these days often turn out to be quite large in file size and resolution which makes sending them across via email or uploading them on websites almost impossible. Thankfully, there are plenty of online photo re-sizers available to address this issue. The best thing about these applications is that most of them are absolutely free of cost. Here’s how you can easily re-size your digital photos online with no hassles at all.

1. Choose An Online Application: There are plenty of online applications out there that will easily re-size your photos for FREE. Some of the most commonly used applications are: 
   a. Pixlr
   b. Picresize
   c. Web Resizer
   d. Jpeg-Optimizer
   e. Resize-Photos
   f. Fixpicture

2. Upload your image to these websites (most of them allow uploads up to a maximum file size of 5MB) after which you can choose your re-sizing options according to your preference.
3. Re-sizing Options:There are multiple re-sizing options available on each platform depending on the service you choose. Some of them may allow you to entire a desired resolution in pixels and get the image re-sized accordingly, while some may allow you to choose a percentage of the original file size and then re-size the image. It all depends on the application you choose.
4. Quality: When you re-size an image to a lower size, more often than not this process affects its original quality. To make sure you maintain a balance between good image quality and low file size, select/enter a resolution which is neither too small, nor too big.
