3. Adjusting the settings

Now that you have selected the images you need to choose the size, format and quality settings. Once changed these settings will be the default for all future conversions, we would suggest the following settings.

4. Quality settings

You will be presented with the options window like the one displayed opposite.

5. Advanced settings

Next press the Advanced Options button to make the final adjustments. Most of the advanced options here will not be of use so we can safely leave them as they are.

As shown opposite, ensure that there is a tick next to Resize.

• Place a dot next to Set new size
• Dot set both sides to
• For the width enter 800 pixels
• For the height enter 600 pixels

6. Adjusting the images

We have now shown IRfanview where the images are located, where we would like them output to after conversion and our settings for the conversion.

All that remains is to press the start button and all of your images will be re-sampled and resized into the folder you chose earlier. Once you have adjusted these settings they do not need to be changed again, in future simply point the program towards your images and set an output folder to resize future images really easily and quickly.

• Press start
• Browse to your output folder
• Finally, upload the newly converted images to the website
