Resizing Images
Overview: The following tutorial explains how to resize an image in your Photobucket account.
Requirements: You must be a Photobucket account holder and have content uploaded in your account.
Note: You can only resize images.
The image editor is driven by JavaScript and Flash. If you have difficulty accessing the image editor, see the troubleshooting tips in our FAQ, here.
Steps to Take:- Open the Photobucket site at http://www.photobucket.com
Enter your username and password at the top of the page, then click the log in button to log into your Photobucket account.
- Select albums & upload from the menu at the top of your album.
Note: You can also click edit images to open the Image Editor.
- Click the thumbnail or the edit link for the image that you want to resize.
When you click the image thumbnail, the full-size view displays. - Mouse over the image in full-size view, and do one of the following:
- Select resize, and then choose an option (Tiny, Small, Medium, more options).
Important! If you use resize on the full-view page, your resize is permanent. If you make your image smaller, there is no way to enlarge it again. Make sure you keep a back-up of the original file.
OR
- Click edit image to open the Image Editor.
- Select resize, and then choose an option (Tiny, Small, Medium, more options).
- Make sure you are in the Basic tab, then select a preset size from the drop-down-menu, use the width/height slider bars, or type in the size of your choice. For best results, leave the Keep Proportions checkbox selected so your image is not distorted. Click the Apply button to see your changes.
- Click Save a copy at the bottom of the page to create a new image in your account, with the modifications that you made. Photobucket recommends this option if you want to keep your original image unedited. Click Replace original to save the changes you made to the original file in your album, replacing your original.
