Picture re-size for signature?

I think the limit is limit is 100 pixels high

Any square picture is going to end up very small 100*100
To not be distorted

When resizing set only the height, Not both height and width
And check "keep aspect ratio"
So the resizing program will not distort the image

I am trying with this link and get it down to 30KB but when I do the 500X100 it distorts.I will keep trying,thanks for the link for a technically challenged member.

I might download the app from the app store and try it on my phone...Thanks

Cropping the picture does have an effect on the file size but, as you seem to have found out, is not efficient at reducing the file size. Often you have to cropped the picture very small, and then, when you increase the picture for display, there is not enough detail.

The way to reduce file size is to increase the compression of the file. With the Pixlr Editor, that is accomplished when you save the picture.

First crop the picture to the 500 by 100 image you want. (At least so that the height is 100 pixels and the width is no more that 500.)

Choose Save for the File menu and a dialog window opens



Use the Quality slider on the right side to reduce the file size. Each time you move the slider, the app will update the file size in the lower right corner.

Your photo will need to be in the cloud, most often Google Drive.

Shoot the picture you want on your Chrome with your phone. Dumb it down until it’s accepted.

Do you have Paint? Nevermind... no you likely don't. It's a whole different world sans hard drive.

Where is the picture stored?

Anyway, here's a google search for you.
