Cropping and changing the size of webpage images

When uploading webpage images throughout your website, we ask you ensure they follow the below specification:

  • Max Filesize: 1 mb

The steps below outline how you can edit the size of images, in order to keep the dimensions and aspects consistent on webpages. You can do this through tools such as Paint.

 Note

We recommend using Paint on your PC. However, this is a Microsoft product and therefore cannot be supported by TechnicWeb Support

  1. Locate the image file that you want to edit, on your computer or network
  2. Right click on the image, hover over Open with, and click Paint
    1. Alternatively, you can open Paint from your Start menu and then open the image via File and Open
  3. With the image open and on display, on the Home tab and within the Image section, click Resize
  4. You can either resize by Percentage or Pixels (Pixels is usually easier if you know the size of your other webpage images)
  5. Maintain aspect ratio allows you to change either horizontal or vertical without having the change disproportionally affect the other. You might prefer to untick this and manually type in the pixel sizes
  6. Click Ok when done
    1. If the image needs cropping, on the Home tab and within the Image section, instead of Resize, click Select
    2. Select the area you want to crop using the small, outer squares and click Crop
  7. Once you've finished resizing and/or cropping, click File
  8. Click Save as
  9. Enter a different File name for the image. This ensures that you'll have the original image if ever you need to use it again
  10. Select what format to save the image as from within the Save as type dropdown
