image resize software

[Mattie]

Hi

Does anyone know of a software that i can use to reduce image file size, i am currently using "irfanview" but my images still come out over 50KB when reducing them to 250x250 pixels
i can't go any smaller in size or you won't see image properly.

you can still use irfanview but when saving uncheck all "keep oryginal **** Data" it should give you smaller file size. what file you saving to?? png? gif?

Hi Paul

I've got it set to keep ratio, and to override original files it does reduce size but not by much

[Paul]

So what size you want them to be then?

[Mattie]

I need the file size to be smaller not the pixels

some are saving as 50kb this is to big as would slow website down

Use photoshop and save as a gif instead of a jpg, that'll bring the file size down a bit.

I don't know what software you're using but everything I use has a slider for jpeg compression. Selecting 80% reduces file size with no noticeable quality difference. Selecting 60% makes the file size even smaller. In all instances, the dimensions of the picture stay the same.

You can also use slider in irfaview.

I use this one and it always seems to do a good job. http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-soft ... e-resizer/
