Each graphic file has its own resolution, which is measured in pixels. The volume of a photo or picture in megapixels can be obtained by multiplying the number of pixels in width by their number in the height of the graphic file. At the same time, in order to quickly transfer large images by e-mail and save space on a flash drive or disk, the resolution of images is often subject to change.
Necessary
Paint. NET program
Instructions
Step 1
To reduce the file size, the image resolution is usually also reduced. To change the resolution of a picture, you will need any, even the simplest, graphic editor. For example, quite rich in functions, free Russian-language photo editor Paint. NET. You can download it here: www.paintnet.ru/download/. The installed Paint. NET takes up very little space on your hard disk, and its interface is understandable even to an inexperienced user
Install Paint. NET, run it, open the picture you want to resize. To do this, go to the "File" - "Open" menu. After the picture opens, select on the toolbar "Image" - "Resize". In the window that appears, select "Percentage" to change the image resolution in percentage. If you want a predetermined resolution, such as 800 pixels wide, select Absolute Size and enter the options you want. Check the "Maintain aspect ratio" checkbox to prevent the picture from stretching and squashing.
Step 2
The picture with the new resolution is ready. In order not to lose the original file, which may be useful in the future, do not overwrite it, but select "File" - "Save As" and save the resulting picture with a new resolution in the format you need to any convenient place, for example, on the desktop or to the My Pictures folder.
