I have some jpgs which dont have animation. And they are really large pics. So wht do I do to resize it to become smaller as an avataar?

 

[Biplav]

u got irfan view??
just press Ctrl+R and then enter 80*80.
simple u are done.
but i think if its a proper wallpaper then automatically it will be resized in the same proportion and not exactly 80*80
for making it exactly 80-80 deselect "preserve aspect ratio"
thats it i suppose

U can easily resize any .JPG pic using Photoshop.
Just explore & U'll find the resize option.

i guess photoshop is best for editing ur avatars i did that for the one i have now.If u want u can even custom make them if u know good designs too.Photoshop is very helpful and many ppl know how to use it (getting help is easier)

That worked fine. But how do i reduce the pic to less than 10kb,20kb, so on. I mean the size of the file to use it an avataar?

 

[kato]

try to save ur file in different formats i mean in png or gif or jpeg. Gif will get u a small size but hte problem is that the quality is reduced and png is good but sometimes does not reduce it as much as u need.Simply decrease the size of image further for making it a small file

I resized the bigger jpg file into 80*80,but cannot reduce the filesize to 10kb or so for an avataar.

reduce colour to 16 colours.

 

[kato]

simple try and save it in other formats like png and gif sumthing will reduce the file size or u can further decrease the image size to make the file smaller
