Sizing Images for the Website

Images on websites should be sized appropriately so that they don't waste data or slow the pages loading time. 

Tools for Resizing images

Photoshop: If you are familiar with using Adobe Photoshop and have it installed on your computer, you can size images using the crop tool. 

Online tools: There are various online tools that can be used to size and crop images. View a video tutorial for a simple web-based resize tool, or go on Google and find one that you like! 

Web Services Specialist: If you need help resizing and adding images, contact the Web Services Specialist who would be more than happy to size and add the photos for you. Just email or send a link to the photo that you would like to have added to phamer@hancockcollege.edu.
