Nice tutorial. I understand people don't prefer to install programs. Anyone try free online
https://picresize.com/ ? That has a max filesize when saving I just noticed, and crop when browsing before. Needs to be tested on image quality and ease of use. Pixlr is ok but just looks like they are charging 1.99 per month now for a PLUS to get unlimited saves and ad free monthly or 99 cents I think paid for a year at once. The easier it is to resize and not get closed threads for not posting photos the more users you may have.
I still find the free Faststone image viewer my choice and I could explain also as its quite easy to use,
https://www.faststone.org/ but
Irfanview and others all work pretty well, as do some of the other online options, just need to do some testing to see whats easiest for the newbies out there as that is probably the most important thing to start, and better would be free.
For faststone, After the image loads, press and hold CTRL and then press R while ctrl is held down at the same time (CTRL+R) then release to resize up or normally down to any resolution such as to 800 pixels or 600 or lower on pixels-width and it will maintain the original aspect ratio.
Press CTRL+S at same time to save in JPG format (there is an options button in bottom right to even adjust the jpg quality). Its also capable to rotate an image, just hitting R key when viewing the image. cropping and adjust colors like brightness or contrast is found on the right mouse click menu meaning you just press the right mouse button to see the menu then select the option.
