Convert and Resize Images Free Online

Introduction:

This is the second tutorial posted here. The first one applied mainly to IT Pros, so I figured this one should apply to even the most basic computer users. This tutorial will guide you through the process of converting and resizing an image online free using CoolUtils Online Image Converter.



Preparation:

To use this converter, you must obviously have an image you wish to convert and/or resize. After you have chosen your image, open your browser to http://www.coolutils.com/online/image-converter/ .



Step 1:

Once the web page is loaded, choose the 'Browse' button to locate your image. This converter supports all the major formats, and then some. This makes it easy for users to use it because they don't have to worry about what image format their current image is in. After locating your image, select 'Open' to begin the uploading process.



Step 2:
After the image has finished uploading, choose the format you wish to convert your image to. Just like Step 1, it supports all the major image formats.

You can also resize your image by choosing 'Resize' to the right of the conversion format selection box. Enter the width and height that you want your image to reflect. Please note that it is possible to increase the size of your image, but highly Not recommended. When an image is increased in size, it stretches the pixels to accommodate the new size, thus the image becomes blurry.

Rotation of your image is also available, but that is self explanatory, so we won't go into that now.



Finally:

After you have chosen the option and format you want, chose 'Download Converted File' to get your new image in it's new format and size!



Conclusion:

Who ever said image conversion and resizing had to be a pain? With new utilities and free tools like the CoolUtils Online Image Converter, it streamlines the task and makes it more bearable! This tool doesn't leave any watermarks or claim ownership of your file, so you can do what you wish with the finished image! You are allowed to use this tool an unlimited number of times without a waiting period between conversions.

If there were an award for "Best Image Conversion" or "Best Free Online Tools", I think it should definitely go to CoolUtils!
