Re-size Jpeg Photos In Microsoft Fresh paint

If you are trying to download a picture on a website, or print one out, you have probably realized that it needs to be resized. Here is way to do it using a program that nearly every computer comes with, Microsoft Paint.


Instructions


1. Download pictures onto the computer and place them into a folder.


2. Double click on the picture that you want to resize. A window should pop up on your screen, that has the picture on it, called "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer." The bottom of this window will have multiple icons.


3. Click on the icon that is second from the far right. When you hold your mouse over it, it should say "Closes this program and opens the image for editing."


4. When Microsoft Paint pops up, it should have your picture on it. To resize it, go to the top left side of the window and click on "Image," then scroll down to "Stretch/skew" and click on that.


5. Pick a percentage of the image size you want it to be. You cannot resize your image by putting in the amount of pixels you want in Microsoft paint. If you know an approximate size you want it though, put in the percentage. Once you apply the new size, go click on "Image" again. Scroll down to "Attributes" and click on that. This will show you how big your image is in pixels. You cannot change the image size here though because it will crop your picture rather than resize it.
