How to Resize Images
This How-to applies to: 2.5
Resizing images starts with the Insert Image
function while editing a page. Go ahead and pick an image that you wish to insert like you normally would. Notice that there is a Size drop-down menu on the right hand side of the Insert Image screen:
Images can only be sized down. You cannot choose a size larger than the image that you started with. The image used in the above example is 1024x768 pixels. This is way too big to display on a page, but maybe I want to insert a thumbnail and link it to the original image so that a site visitor can view the full sized image if they want to.
Your choices of sizes are somewhat limited, but you get a fairly good range to pick from (all sizes are in pixels):
- Large (768 by 768)
- Preview (400 by 400)
- Mini (200 by 200)
- Thumbnail (128 by 128)
- Tile (64 by 64)
- Icon (32 by 32)
- Listing (16 by 16)
