with a Free Image Resizer
Everyone knows how frustrating it is to receive an email with a bunch of photos
attached that are still in their original format. As digital cameras have gotten less
expensive and the pixel size has increased so has the size of the original photo.
It's not uncommon to see photos that are 2-3 MB's in size. Sending these photos
will often result in either the email getting bounced as it makes the inbox go over
it's size limit or it just takes forever to download, especially for those still using
dial-up Internet connections. Fortunately you can eliminate this by Resizing the
Pictures before sending the email.
Here's Several Free Image Resizers To Resize Pictures for Email:
Microsoft PowerToys (Windows XP) are Free Programs to enhance the

or want to use a photo as your desktop wallpaper as it can reduce a 2 MB file
down to less than 100 KB.
