Smaller Images to Upload for Facebookers

Hi guys,

There are some of us who take pictures at the highest size setting on their cameras at all times just because they can. Like me. So if i happen to be holding a 12 megapixel camera, all my images will be ... you guessed it, 12 megapixels. so when i feel like posting my larger than my screen images i run into a dilemma.

I use an Expresso bundle and I am on their 1 gigabyte plan (its cheap GHS 15, who can blame me?). Now why would I want to put up these fat images on Facebook and get all my data chewed up so that a few people can click "like"? No way! (and this is not because i am cheap).

For anyone else who has this problem there is the smallest software in the world you can download to solve all your problems and its what I use to upload ALL my images, yup ALL of them. its called "PhotoResizer" and you can download it from this site: http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize

Its small and all you have to do is change the number at the end to give you a bigger or smaller image. i think the default is 400 but if your raise it to 1600 your images will still be small in size but look good. Then you select all the pictures you want to SMALLIFY and drag and drop them on the icon of the program. Thats it.

All the new compressed images will be in the same folder as the originals so after you upload them you can just delete them. So its just something cool and it could save your bandwidth a little.

Ciao

  1. Well it seems someone was having the same problems as me but in his/her case had the technical know-how to solve the problem. Its not even the data it will 'chew' [I'm on an unlimited plan], its the drag of sending each image to paint and resizing it one at a time. Thanx bro for sharing..
