Folks who use their mobile devices for access often face bandwidth limitations. Reducing your pic sizes can also reduce the cost and time of picture transmission.
Microsoft Office or free software such as Open Office allows you to import your pics into the Presentation feature where you can crop or otherwise resize your pics, even place multiple pics on the same slide. You can also easily annotate your pics for emphasis. You can then use Save As or Export to convert your edited pics into a reduced size JPEG file which will load faster while reducing bad width costs to the forum and/or users on mobile devices.
Using an online conversion site to convert short videos to animated GIFs can also save bandwidth costs.
A General tip on posting pics
-
That's the problem with computers, they have 100 ways to do one thing but only one of them might work. To many crappy ways to do something but very few good ways.

Just be cautious not to reduce the resolution to much on your jpg files because the forum reduces the quality when you upload them also. The only exception is the gallery. It doesn't strip that much detail and resolution.

I always check my pics after posting to make sure they look OK and can be easily read an d haven't run into any problems using the default conversion settings. Update - Now if I can just get my figners to type properly!
