File too big to upload... + message board issue
|
|
I�m unable to upload to upload a file because it�s too big. It has six pictures, all of which I "compressed" but I�m still at 348 KB. What else can I do to decrease the file�s size?
SIDE NOTE: I know this issue has been raised on the message board a number of times, and addressed by the members. I wanted to look through the threads, but couldn�t find a way to search through them. Is there a way to search through old threads? I feel like the same issues are addressed on the board again and again... Maybe there should be a FAQ section?
But back to my original question....HOW DO I DECREASE A FILE�S SIZE EVEN MORE? Thanks! |

Brokee,there�s a tutorial by Logos on how to ewduce size of pictures using Paint. Tape the name in the search dialogue and browse his contributions. |

When my files are too big, I paste the pictures in Publisher, group them, then save them as one picture. It usually does the trick. |

Well, I think you can compress it with the �print screen� button and then pasting it to word. This makes it not editable (as many worksheets on this site), but it will enable you to post it.
I hope it helps. Regards!

Thanks for the advice. I used the Paint option as I don�t have Publisher, but it worked. Always learning something new on this site, THANKS! |

If you have google toolbar installed in your browser you can use the google search engine to search this site.
You just push the �search only www.eslprintables button which looks like a little magnifying glass with eyes. Hope this helps.

I�m always resizing pictures in Adobe Photoshop, which is a great tool. But as most people don�t have this software, I would also recommend Microsoft Picture Manager. Picture Manager comes with Office, so most computers should have a copy. It�s not the best, but it works.
1: Cut and paste a picture into Picture Manager.
2: Go to the tools and resize the picture to what you need. If you simply resize the picture in Powerpoint, it retains the original size and information, which makes for large files.
3: Save the file as a jpg.
4: Import the picture back into Powerpoint via the toolbar at the top.
Hope this helps.
