Every time I try to upload a picture I get a message saying the file is too big. I need advice please.

When I have a pic that's too big (MB-wise) I use the Windows Snipping Tool to "snip" a smaller portion and re-save it. Works every time.

Just curious, how do you resize a pic? I don't have any editing software. Our do you reduce the resolution? BTW I use my phone.

I use an app, many free ones available. 10:8 fits perfectly here.

I think reducing the resolution would be the way to go but I don't know how.

What app do you use? Is it for a PC?

Are you using a pc or cellphone?

Aviary is what I'm using right now. It's free.

I am using a PC.

If you're using a computer to upload pictures go to postimage.org to resize your photos. Choose 800 X 600.

Once you get an app to edit your pictures HERE is where you can practice.

I put the pic on my desktop, right click on it, select resize, then select small.

Irfanview is a great free image editor. http://www.irfanview.com/
You can crop, rotate, resize and add all kinds of special effects.
I resize all mine to 800x600 with Irfanview.

I will give this a try. Thanks

I beleive there is a picasa app for phones as well as pc.

If you use the tapatalk app for the forum, it should resize it for you automatically. That's what I've been doing.

I don't know what "tapatalk" is. What is it and where do I get it? I'm using my PC not a cell phone.

Sorry, thought you were using the phone. That app is available in any app store, Android or apple. For a PC, you can try using the program paint that should be in your accessories. I'm not on a PC right now or I would talk you through it. Tomorrow at work, if you haven't figured it out by then, I will gladly give you a step by step.

It is a goto program for me. I have been using it since about 1998. It is the first program I will download to a new computer.
