Learn about resizing an image for Drupal.
You must ensure that your images have been optimised for the web and resized as JPGs or PNGs, before uploading to your website.
Software for resizing an image
IrfanView is available on the UCL desktop for download. Once downloaded, you will see it is straightforward to resize an image:
1 | Open IrfanView and search for your image | ![]() |
2 | Once found and opened, click on Image | Resize/Resample | ![]() |
3 | Complete the width in pixels | As seen in the above image, 800 pixels width - the height is added automatically |
4 | Click on OK |
Apart from Irfanview, you can also use the following software for resizing e.g. Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Gimp, Paint etc. and Mac users who use the latest OS can resize on their desktop.
