Re-size images online

For many people, being told to resize your image to an pixel dimension (e.g. 560 px wide) is a bit confronting. Without Adobe Photoshop or a similar tool, how would you do it?
There are some excellent online lifesavers that will crop and resize your images. Plus, they're free!
Here are a few tools that are great for resizing in pixel dimensions:
  • PicResize
  • ResizeImage.net
  • ImageResize.org
Example: PicResize
For instance, let's say you have a high-resolution figure, and to use it somewhere it has to be 560 px wide.
  1. Upload your image (JPG, GIF, PNG, BMP) to PicResize and press 'Continue'.
  2. Select 2. Resize your Picture - 'No change' and check the dimensions of your original image.
  3. Select 2. Resize your Picture - 'Custom Size'
  4. Enter the width you need (in this case, 560 px wide, and leave the height blank)
  5. Scroll down to 4. Save as, and save as 'best' quality JPG.
  6. Select 'I'm done, resize my picture!'
  7. The resize results will appear in yellow, and below will be 4 options (View Image, Resume Edit, Save to disk, Save to web). Choose Save to Disk to download the resized picture.

You could also use this tool to:
  • check the exact dimensions of your original image (Select 2. Resize your Picture - 'No change' and see the table of dimensions on the right).
  • crop or rotate your image (Select 1. Crop and rotate your picture)
  • change it to greyscale (Select 3. Choose special effect - greyscale)

These tools may not be the complete solution to editing your figures every time. But they could just as well come in handy quite a bit!
