How to Resize Photos to 100 KB and 1 MB
Photos have always been important, from the days of cameras and prints to today's digital snapshots. But sometimes, the size of a photo file doesn't fit our needs. It might be too big to send by email or too small, losing quality when printed. The solution to this problem is resizing the photo.
Thankfully, technology has made it easy to resize photos. You can do it using websites or smartphone apps. This article will help you find simple and efficient ways to adjust your photo file sizes.
Using a Laptop
