Picture resizing is a total pain!

[cycletothesea]

Is there an app for resizing pictures to a size that RetroBike will accept. Opening, resizing and saving a dozen pics and hoping they will load is just too bloody long-winded. The picture uploader tool itself is like something out of the 1980s.

when you say app, do you mean for a phone?

phone, laptop - whatever. Anything that automates the process and makes it quicker.

Plenty of threads on here and people use a few different ones. Personally i have always used this: https://www.bricelam.net/ImageResizer/ its for windows and it works fine so never had to try any of the others. You just right click on any picture or pictures and the resize option comes up on the drop down menu, when the box appears set to medium (only have to set once) and click resize. Just add resized pics as attachments, takes seconds.

Image Size.
Really simple, just set the parameters in pixels (1080 wide) and other than changing orientation it’s a two click process.

For the billionth time

save pics to 1200, name them, store them on your HDD before the internet takes them

Plus use the

to link photos from other sites (a bit of skill is often required here to hunt the correct address)

As for phones, dont be lazy, use a laptop or man computer (or woman)

I've been using this for the entire time on here. As simple as you could want any wee handy add on app to be. And unlike the vast majority they dont try to screw you for anything else.
Right click on a photo in your photo file and make it any size or a small, medium or large, or custom, which i use set at 999x999 pixies
This gives you the original pic at whatever size, and a copy named 'custom' at the size youve set. From experience this 999x999 fits here without issue on any original sized pic.

Imagebb is the easiest picture hosting site that I have found so far. Post images of any size or just like links.
