Thanks estocks, I will give it ago for future pics, I managed to find a microsoft editing tool that rips out pixels to reduce the file, it hammers the resolution but gets it to the right size.

Always learning

Thanks again

If you don't have your own editing software and or hosting try something like the online and free of charge version of Photoshop. https://www.photoshop.com/express/landing.html

That way you can resize the image and still maintain the overall pixel density:-)

When you right click the image in Photoshop express it will give you the image link to insert in the IMG code.

Code: Select all

<img src="YOUR_IMAGE_FILE_HERE.JPG" alt="" width="" height="" border="0" />
There are also other options from people like Google.
