Worth trying Faststone photo resizer. Its freeware. Made a big improvement to me. You can batch resize (and rename) entire file contents. I now take regular pics of a project.....upload to PC......new folder in the relevant pic file with smaller size or some such as a name....batch resize the whole project and deposit the smaller files in the new directory. Then anything you upload take from the resized file area and Bob's yer Uncle

+1 for Faststone. Easy to use and definitely works for me.

For years I have used the free Irfanview program for most work with pics - it is very comprehensive and will do batch conversions for names/formats/sizes.

For individual pics, it does practically everything I want other than advanced techniques that are found in paintshop

It even has an editing tool that allows area colour changes or 'cloning' or adding text.
