This one works well. Microsoft Image Resizer. You just right click on an image and enter the pixel size you want.

For some reason I can edit the image down far smaller than 100 on p-shop, but it's still over 6kb! I can, however, use a thumbnail from the Samba gallery as my avatar even though it's bigger. How can I get it to be less than 6kb? I'm not a computer expert at all Cool And can we use those little 2 second "video clips" (if thats what you call them, where they play over and over) as an avatar. I know people have the vibrating Beetle ones from this site so I'm thinking maybe? Like this just for example, only it would have to be downsized.

That's exactly my question. I can get them small enough but the file size is still too big.

Try searching for a gif resizer. Let me know when I can resize something from this site (which is quite a bit smaller) than what you are trying to do.

skim i always thought you were the computer wiz w/ all the stuff you come up with! i also use microsoft paint and then f around w/ the size till it fits. takes so damn long and i have 0 patience which is why the furrburger has remained lately! another way is to google image and then copy and paste it as long as it is less than 100x100. that is how i got furrburger!

In addition to the size when you save it it should provide for the option of compression. When you compress it the size will go down.

I just found a way to get some avatars. I went to Google search and click image and type in what you are looking for. The pictures are fairly small. Then you can resize them and it should fit.
