Instant Image Resizing

Most forums and other online communities allow you to upload an image to your profile, and for most role-players these images give visual representation of their characters. The problem is, there is usually fairly tight size requirements on these avatars or portraits, both in file size and physical size.

If your image is too big physically (as in number of pixels wide or high), one quick solution to resize that image is My-image-Size. My-image-Size is a simple, straight forward, single-page site that lets you either upload an image or link to one already online and resize it to the width you need. It keeps the overall proportions, so if the original was 300pixels by 200pixels and you set the resize to 150pixels wide, it ends up 100pixels high.

Resizing couldn’t be easier, after linking to your local file or entering the web url of the image just drag the slider bar or type the actual number in the text box provided and click the Go >> button. Your image is uploaded to their system, resized, and a window slides open with your resized image that lets you view and download the finished product.

It uses cookies and a cache or something and will remember your recently resized images, but it does not actually store them. It is a good idea to download them right away, because you can not link to them.
