How to reduce size of your picture

Using digicam today, we often set it to the highest quality settings to achieve the best picture. Unknowingly, this takes a lot of space due to large size of its image. So when we transfer it to our computer, size is over 1Mb. If the size of the image is big, the actual size of it also is bigger than what you can display on your monitor. I’ve encounter lots of user’s asking me how to reduce the size of the picture even though they don’t have any picture editing software. The solution is by using MS PAINT, a built in software in Windows OS.

Open your MS Paint software and open the picture you want to reduce the size. On the top menu, choose IMAGE then click STRETCH/SKEW. A dialog box will appear for you to edit the picture. Under STRETCH options, try to change the HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL value below 100. Let’s say you want it to change to 50%, type 50 then click OK. Now it’s time to save the picture and for sure, the result will be a smaller size picture file.
