Reduce/decrease the size of an image tremendously

Sometimes we need to decrease/reduce the size of an image. We generally do it when we need to upload it online. Mainly the online news editors do it before publishing a news. They have to publish lots of images all day long. If they don't decrease the size of images then it will take too long time to load their news site.

The webmasters also do the same when they add a logo or any other images on a website. Because the main goal of all is to decrease the loading time of a website. Photoshop allows you to decrease the size of an image tremendously. Let's try it now to see how much you can decrease of an image.

 Step 02  Select original tab to know the real size of the image

Now select the tab named Original (the portion I have identified by 1) as I have shown in the above image. Then look at the lowermost left corner of the window (the portion I have identified by 3) to see the original size of the image.

 Step 03  Change some settings to decrease the size of the image

Now you need to change some settings to decrease the size of the image. You have to change the following given below to decrease the size of the image.

1. Image Type:
   First of all change the image type from the Preset section (the section I have identified by 4). You will found there is selected .PNG format by default, change it to .JPEG and select the tab Optimized. You will notice that the size of the image has decreased a lot.


2. Image Quality:
   Now change the image quality to low.The option to change the image quality is also at the Preset section.


3. Image Size:
   Change the image size to decrease the data size of the image. To do so, click on the tab Image Size as shown in the image below. Then provide the width or height in the New Size section and click on apply to review the size again till you get your expected size.
   
   NB. When you will change the width, then the height will be changes automatically depending on the new width.

 Step 04  Click on Save to save the image

How to Adjust Size of Facebook Cover Photo

---

Besides profile photo most of the Facebook users use a cover photo in their profile. But most often the users fail to adjust the cover photo. Because, facebook has defined a dimension by default. That's why when we upload a large image then some portion of that image remains hidden/missing.

If you want to show your expected portion of an image, then you need to know the default size of facebook cover photo and you also need to know to resize an image. You can resize an image using adobe photoshop and also using microsoft paint.

In this post you will learn to adjust a facebook cover photo using ms paint. Let's see, how to do that.

 Step 01  Open an image in ms paint

Select an image you want to use as Facebook cover photo. Now right click on that image, a pop-up menu will open as like as the image given below. Simply click on Edit as showing in the image below.

 Step 02  Now click on resize

After clicking on Edit the image will open in MS Paint. Now click on Resize as showing in the image below or simply press Ctrl+W keys together.

 Step 03  Put the values to resize that image

After clicking on Resize a pop up window will open like the image given below. Now you have to select the Radio Button Pixels and deselect the box where is written Maintain aspect ratio. Then put the value 851 as Horizontal and 315 as Vertical. And finally click on the OK button.

 Step 04  Your Expected Size

After clicking on the OK button, the image will be resized to 851x315px. The example image with the valid aspect ratio for Facebook Cover Photo is given below.

 Step 05  Save the resized image now

To save the resized image, click on the Save button as showing in the image below or simply press Ctrl+S buttons together to save the image. Finally, locate the image and look the image is resized to your expected dimension.

Now you can upload this photo in Facebook as your Cover Photo. This photo will properly adjust as a cover photo.

N.B. You have already noticed that ms paint can't resize an image perfectly. Ms paint just set the height and width of an image, but it can't crop an image. That's why the objects of the image doesn't look okay. So, you can use photoshop to crop a portion of an image according to your expected ratio.
