resizing to fit avatar

[IcyPeas]

okay so I have a little picture I am trying to resize so the entire thing fits into certain avatar dimensions.

I tried resizing it in paint.net and in MS Paint. still didn't work.

Tried using Shrinkpictures.com -- still didn't work

Tried using Picasion.com -- still didn't fit.

it shrinks the kb - even makes it tinier in pixel size yet it still doesn't fit.

what am I missing?

thanks

1. I've worked paint.net

Go to image size
Reduce pixels/inch
Square up image
Save as ,gif

2. Irfanview - best freebie graphic editor

Or you could post your pic here, give me the size, format, etc you require and I'll have it right back at ya, ready to copy/paste.

4. A second vote for Irfanview which has a great "Save for Web" plugin

So be sure to download the Plugin pack as well as the program. Not only does it give access to many, many image formats, you get extras like "Save for Web."

I have PhotoShop at home, and Lightroom on the laptop I took to the UK, but when that laptop crapped out, I downloaded Irfanview and downsized the pictures for my blog with it.
