Today I’m going to show you how to resize a graphics image using IrfanView which is a free program that’s great for working with graphics images. So with my image loaded, I’ll click image, resize resample, now you can see here that if I wanted to I could put in an exact size for the new size and make it exactly the size that I want. But I also have the option to set the new sizes at percentage of the original. So toady I’m going to use 50%, click okay and now you can see our graphic has been resized. Now I want to save it and so I don’t overwrite the original I’m going to save as, we’re going to type in a new name, click save and we’re done. And now we have a new graphics image, it’s been resized and that’s all there is to it.
