Use a photo editing program such as gimp to re-size your photographs.

 

Gimp is free to download and works well when you need to crop and edit photos. It is easy to use too.

Advice on changing pixel size of photos please

what do you take your photos with?? A camera or a phone? Do you want your piccies bigger for ebay, or smaller? I know where you are coming from as when I first started selling on ebay, the photo thing was a real dilemna for me...to start with that is. You have to look around in search engines for something that suits you to resize them with. Do you use a mac by any chance? I now use a mac and it has brilliant easy editing tools in iphoto, a default that comes with mac. I shoot all my pics on a camera...its 8 years old but still good...and these days, I set the photo size before I take the pics, I just leave the setting on 1600 x 1280 I think it is..(pixels)...and crop and adjust in iphoto. You can also use photobucket..its free...and has an easy editing tool nowadays, where you can resize, crop, brighten darken whatever.

 

If you are wanting the photos to comply with ebay new 'standards' best if you take my advice and shoot them straight up at the required size, by adjusting camera settings first...as suggested above by moi...hope this helps....jilly

take a look at my ebay photos...and see if that's what you want...

so basically, the best thing is to take the photos large to begin with, you get a better resolution / sharpness etc anyway...jilly
