Image Resizer (Shrink Pictures) one of the best image tools, lets say you have a image to load onto your website, the size of the image is 750 x 500 (55.9KB) you could upload the image then adjust the size on your site builder or control the image size using the width and height in your image code.

To make it smaller lets say you used the image code and made it 300 x200 so it fits into the space you have. By changing the image size in the code you have changed the physical size but the load time size, the load time size is still (55.9KB).

Take the same image upload it to the image resizer with the size you require in this case 300 x 200 the tool will resize the image 300 x 200 (16.56KB) note the load time 16.56KB.
