Question about resizing pics.

As far as I know, I have been told that free site pic sizes should be about 50K and should be about 600 pixels on the long side in order to get accepted to most free site listings.

Is that correct?

In addition, instead of having to resize hundreds of pics, I am wondering if anyone here using a pic program that will let you resize a bunch of pics at once?


Any help is appreciated.

Yep, those numbers are pretty good. I'll even make the pixel size a bit larger if I can keep the weight down to a reasonable level. Some images compress better than others, but generally I try to keep everything between 40-60k.

There are quite a few image compression programs that do batch processing...I use Ulead Smartsaver and SuperJPG. Again, depends on the images as to which one does a better job. Don't think SuperJPG is available any longer, but you should still be able to find Ulead.
