How do I change a photo's file size?

I need to upload a photo to a website, but it can't be larger than 2mb.  How can I save it as a smaller file size?

Changing the quality setting will apply more jpeg compression to the file and reduce its file size without reducing the image size.  If you want to reduce the image size also then change the pixel dimensions as Larry methoned.  A combination of the two can get you the best possible image at the 2 MB or less file size.  May take a little trial and error.

  • How do I change a photo's date in iPhoto '11 9.2.3?!?

    How do I change a photo's date in iPhoto '11 9.2.3?!?  I've been able to do it before through the "info" link, but don't have that option in this latest version...?  It messes up my chronological event files when people have their camera date set wrong and I can't fix it!  Thanks for any ideas you can provide.

    you can make a smart album for the camera so you can easily select the photos that you need to correct time/date

  • How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?

    How do I convert a photo booth file to an AVI or MP4?
    I tried exporting the file from Quick Time to my desktop, but the file extension reads as .m4v - is that compatible with other pc?

    The M4V format is a video file format developed by Apple and is very close to the MP4 format. The differences are the optional Apple's DRM copyright protection, and the treatment of AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio which is not standardized for the MP4 container.
    If your M4V video is not unprotected M4V files and without AC3 audio. It may be recognized and played by other video players by changing the file extension from ".m4v" to "mp4".
    So you can try to change the file extension and check if it works. If it doesn't work, try Leawo video converter(for windows or mac) and convert m4v to mp4 format.

  • How can I delete the photos or files in my iCloud storage that is no longer needed?

    How can I delete the photos or files in my icloud storage that is no longer needed?

    Explain how it didn't work and what you are trying to delete.  Since icloud doesn't store photos except for those in a backup (then delete the backup); photos in photo stream do not count towards your storage limit.

  • How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

    How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

    If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document. 
    As Murray said, Flash is dead.  Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

  • How do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

    how do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

    Adobe Fill & Sign does not yet have a feature to rotate PDF pages but there are several websites that will rotate a PDF for free and then you can bring that PDF with correct orientation into Fill & Sign to fill out.  Any of the top hits when you google "rotate PDF free" will work.
    Thanks,

  • Resizing photos to file size.

    Hi all, I'm trying to resize a pic to 10 k file size for use as an online avatar. Ideally I'd like to keep it around 100 by 135 pixels. In Windows this is very easy but in the amazingly overhyped and under-featured iphoto it appears to be well nigh impossible. Any ideas on how to do this for someone who desperately wants to stay in osx but increasingly finds App apps unfathomably obtuse? Thanks for your time.

    Yep, been there done that but no joy. There's no mention of re-sizing a photo by file size in the help file and no ability to do so in Export. And to tell the truth, having to export to re-size is really clunky not to mention, somewhat erratic. I managed to get the file down to 8 kb by reducing it to 45 x 45 pixels but that's too small. My next size was around 105 x 140 and came in at 20 kb. I attempted to reduce the file size by reducing the photo size in stages down to 60 x 80 but the file size would increase rather than decrease. Any useful input?

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • How do I change a photo file name, e.g. DSC001, etc.?

    When I either import or download digital images into IPhoto, I need to change the filename in some instances.  Using the Information feature in IPhoto, I give the photo a name or identifier and add other information.  However, when I then burn the photo to a CD, the original filename, e.g. DSC001, etc. shows up.  How can I change it?

    Aaron Marquez wrote:
    This isn't true.
    Select the photo, then Press Command + I or go to View > Info and double click the photo filename to rename it.
    Best,
    Aaron
    That does NOT change the file name and does not help (Unless you use the option to use the title for the file name during export) - You can not change the file name while the photo is in iPhoto (unless you do so using the finder awhick will corrupt your library and cause data loss)

  • How do I change the photo which is part of my Apple mail ID?

    I have just recently become more familiar with my two email addies attached to my Mac stuff. I have been using my email addy @iCloud.com and @me.com and keep seeing that my email has a photo added to it which I want to change. Originally I added a photo (somehow...was really not knowing what I was doing I guess) and am definitely not able to figure out how I did that. So now when I text or email using the Apple stuff, people see the photo I added but it is one that I think I want to change. I have been trolling around trying to find where this photo might be located but so far no luck. Is anyone able to help me with this? I took a grab of the window with the photo showing so it could explain for me what I am asking about. It is the photo of the girl you can see there that is attached to my Apple stuff and I am thinking I want to change it since that is not me...:-)
    Thanks, I am sure this is not a big deal.
    I just don't seem to know where to find that setting that can edit or change that photo choice.
    Feeling kind of dumb.

    It is very interesting that there are so many different ways to do some things on Mac and not much of it is out where it is easy to find out about...but sometimes just "fiddling" seems to work well...
    The user image and the contact image are two different things. You can get to your Me card from the Users & Groups, but you can have a different image on your account image and on your Contact card.
    Again, neither of which are sent with your emails, unless you attach your contact card.
    but I went to System and on in and then double clicked on my name there as the user, that brought up an address book    
    Where exactly did you double-click on your name? I wasn't aware of this so I was trying to duplicate it. I can't get my Contact card in any way except for clicking on the Open... button on my account info in Users & Groups. I can't find a way to double-click a name and have it open Contacts.
