Phone Photos

How to transfer photos to your Computer

  • You can use a USB cable to transfer all your pictures from your phone to the computer. This is the easiest and fastest way. Plus you won’t drain the phone’s battery in the process.
  • There are several phone apps that aid this transfer.
  • If all fails, you can send your photos through your email to yourself and use Attach to attach the photo to the email using the Large size. Then simply drag the photo from the email to a folder on the desktop of your computer.


If you are having problems transferring your cell phone image for entry, please contact Nancy Speaker for assistance at aaieartshow22@gmail and state your problem in your email and your name and telephone number. She will try to contact you within 24 hours.

Resizing your Images

                               

        The below resizing tools are free. I tried BeFunky and it worked great.  Adobe Express is also an excellent tool. 

         

  • Adobe Express – Automated resizing for social networks.
  • Social Image Resizer Tool – Great for social media.
  • Promo Image Resizer – For resizing pictures in a few clicks.
  • Photo Resizer – Sharpen option.
  • BeFunky – No registration.
  • Simple Image Resizer – Great for beginners.
  • Pixlr.com.

 EXTRA INFORMATION  

  • In using a resizing program “Lock the Ratio” if you can, or the image may become distorted.
  •            Use 2000 pixels on the long side (this may be height or width).
  • Resolution: 200 DPI (dots per inch).
  •  Format: Save as a JPG. 
  • Save to your computer’s desktop.  However, the saved image may go into your download folder.
