Usually, photographs in files obtained with digital cameras or scanners are very large in pixels. Images transmitted over the Internet, including photographs, are preliminarily reduced to save traffic, so the need to increase their size arises quite often.
It is necessary
Graphic editor MS Paint
Instructions
Step 1
Use, for example, the simple graphics editor Paint that is installed with the Windows operating system. You can run it through the main menu - press the win key to open it, then go to the "All Programs" section, open the "Standard" subsection and select Paint. You can also do without the menu - press the key combination win and r, enter the text mspaint and click the OK button.
Step 2
Load the photo you want to enlarge into the graphic editor. The corresponding dialog can be invoked by pressing the "hot keys" ctrl + o. Use it to find the file containing the photo on your computer and click on the "Open" button.
Step 3
Specify by what percentage Paint should enlarge the photo. This setting is called by clicking on the middle button in the vertical group of three icons in the "Image" section of the editor menu. The same command is duplicated by the ctrl + w hotkeys. In the opened window "Resize and tilt", the upper section contains the scaling settings you need - increase the number in the "Horizontal" or "Vertical" field to the required value. By default, the dimensions are indicated here in percent, and the change is proportional, but if necessary, you can change both of these settings - check the box next to the “pixels” label, and uncheck the box “Maintain aspect ratio”. When the magnification options are set, click OK and Paint will resize the photo accordingly.
Step 4
Save your changes. If you no longer need the file with the original photo, just press the key combination ctrl + s, and the graphic editor will write the photo in its new sizes to the same file. Otherwise, click the blue button in the upper left corner and in the drop-down menu go to the "Save As" section. Select one of the graphic formats listed there, and the application will open a standard Windows save dialog. In it you need to specify the name of the new file and the place where it should be written, and then click the "Save" button. This completes the operation of enlarging and saving the photo.
