on the forum i run i require that all avatars be images of size 30 pixels x 30 pixels. lots of people on the forum are not tech savy and have trouble finding/cropping/resizing a 30x30 image.

what's the easiest way to do this on both a mac and windows system. are there built in programs on each OS that can crop and resize? are there free programs for each OS that can crop and resize?

thanks

for the average person there's always paint. another option is to use a php photo resize script on the backend of your site.

use a php photo resize script on the backend of your site.
...and have newbs upload 3-megapixel images to your server, chewing through tonnes of bandwidth :hugegrin:

You could perhaps go as far as to write a little ol' image-resizer program in VBasic :cowboy:

which is why you would limit the filesize in your php upload script.
