Better method to convert/resize images - Use Photos App instead of Paint

Better method to convert/resize photos - Use Photos App instead of Paint.

I now use the Photos App (instead of Paint) to convert any image format to JPEG and resize them below the 500kb size limit.  The result is a much higher resolution image with a smaller file size.

Windows 10:
Photos app: Open the image, right-click, and select Resize. Then, choose a size option, like a preset size or custom dimensions. Finally, click Save resized copy and rename the image if desired.

Windows 11:
Photos app: Open the image in the Photos app, click the three dots in the top-right corner, and select Resize. A pop-up will appear with preset sizes to choose from. You can also right-click an image in File Explorer, select Photos from Open with, click the three dots, and select Resize.

If you have PowerToys installed then you can enable the "Image Resizer" module which will let you resize multiple files from File Explorer. Select the files, right-click, then select "Resize with Image Resizer"

More info available here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/image-resizer

Note if you're dealing with large PNG files, the resized files will still be too big. Convert them to JPG first by opening them in the Photos app and Ctrl+S (Save as...) to save them as JPG and now they're ready to be resized.
