How To Resize Photos within Photobucket

[SoSoftClaire]

Hello, I know that resizing within photobucket can seem easy for some people, but I thought I'd make this just in case it will help anyone.

Keep in mind that there are only 3 default sizes that you can resize your picture to. I choose the largest size as that is a good size for the board here.

On to the photo-tutorial. Forget-Me-Not will be your guide.


1) Log in to your photobucket account.



2) Place your mouse over the photo you want to resize, it will pop up with a little window full of options. Click on "Edit".



3) This will take you to another window where you will hit "Resize."



4) Click on the "preset sizes" drop-down menu, and choose "Medium (320x240)", which is a good size for online forums.



5) It will ask you if you want to save the resized photo as a copy, or if you want to alter the original. I'd save as a copy in case you want the larger version for something else.



It takes a little while for the resizing to occur.



6) When it's done, you can click on and copy the "IMG code" link next to your photo so that you can post this on your forum.

Your photo should be about this size:




Here's my resized photo:



Hope this helped!

Wow I wish I would have seen this earlier... I save each of my images like 4 or 5 different times - all different sizes so I can post/upload them to various places. It's a pain! This seems much easier
