There are plenty of free dedicated image resizing applications available but, if you have one of the popular free 3rd party image viewers installed XnView, IrfanView or FastStone, did you know you already have the necessary tools on hand. There is just one small problem which occasionally arises – file size versus storage and sharing restrictions – this is where resizing can help. As we rely more and more on modern technology for producing our photos, so we also rely on similar technology for storing and sharing. And the digital age has transformed the way we now share our photos, hard copies are growing less common and photo albums are becoming a thing of the past. Megapixel numbers quickly progressed through single figure digits until today where 12 and 14 megapixels are common place.

File sizes generated by modern digital cameras have grown hugely since the technology first impacted on our lives. Resizing photos is a chore just about everyone needs to undertake at one time or another.
