jpeg pics to avatar

[labrat93562]

I'm sure this question has to be posted and answered somwhere already but I need help. All my pics I'd like to use for an avatar are too large. they are in jpeg format and I don't know how to shrink them down without just cropping which cuts out most of the picture. I'd appreciate any help someone can give me.
Thanks in advance,
Labrat

Not sure what photo software you are using, but when you save or export it you should be able to scale it down. If it is 3200 x 2400 in size you can keep the same ratio by making it 400 x 300. Let us know what you are using and I am sure someone here can assist.
