    Microsoft paint will resize, it is called stretch and skew with paint. A quick google search found http://www.bigwebpages.com/big/resize.html that might work for you as well.

    You have a program called "PAINT" on your computer already.

    RESIZING Pictures

    Download your picture from your camera to your computer and save them in a folder, where you know where they are. Best place is in "My Documents", and inside the "My Pictures" folder.
    Go to your picture folder on your PC where the picture/pictures are stored.
    Right click on the picture, then
    (left click) on Open with "Paint"
    Then, up top in the toolbar:
    left Click on "Image"
    left Click on "stretch/skew"
    When the box comes up, change your height and width from 100% to 40% or 50% and then "left click" on "OK".

    Let's say you chose 50%, and the picture isn't quite small enough yet.
    You need to first undo, what you just did by clicking on "EDIT" and then "UNDO"

    Then you can go back to "STRETCH/SKEW" and try maybe 40% or 30%.

    ................

    If you want to keep one picture of the original size for future developing and one of the downsized for the web, click "Save as"... then re-name your picture and choose save as .jpg and designate which folder you want to save it in so you know where it is.

    When naming pictures, don't leave spaces between words or numbers.
    example: mooseNov2006

    It's that easy

    Yup! MS Paint is all I use. With my older 5MP camera I found 30-40% stretch/skew. Now with my 12MP I use 20%.

    I use PIXresizer - it's free and easy and you won't have as much loss of quality as with Paint.

    Use microsoft office picture manager here. If you have office suite on your computer would suggest using it rather than the paint program, as paint will sacrifice some pic quality. There are some free resizing tools on the web. Have never used it myself, but have heard this is a good one http://picasa.google.com/
