If you have a large images and upload to your web site, and even if you drag your image to a smaller size in the web page, it will still remain the same file size which may be slow for your web visitors to view. Resizing images can be done easily and freely if you have the right tools. One option may be to use a product like Microsoft 'Image Resizer'. (There are numerous graphic programs that come with your computer software, or you can download some from the web.)
The Image Resizer, part of the Microsoft 'PowerToys' kit, makes resizing as simple as clicking the 'right-click' on your mouse. The program can be downloaded directly from Microsoft at
