Large images like that slow your site down significantly.

For a landing page? If so, for a <a href="http://bloggingwithamy.com/how-to-create-a-facebook-landing-page-using-iframes/" rel="nofollow">Facebook landing page</a>, it can be no wider than 520px wide.

You'll have to make sure it does in yours though. The size depends on the dimensions of your theme, but for most themes, I'd say up to 500 pixels wide should work.

How much is that? You had posted once the correct size of the photos so they could be seen completely. How much is that?

Some other alternatives would be to upload to Flickr and then host from there. Or, you can try the Smush.it plugin (search via your Dashboard). So sorry Web Resizer isn't working very well.

Thanks!Question though - I've spent hours and hours taking photos and trying to reduce them to an appropriate size [for a post I was going to publish days ago]. I've been having trouble getting the images significantly reduced AND still maintain high quality AND a prefered pixel size for the image.I finally decided I was going to have to retake all the photos. My camera setting was 2M, I retook all the photos (30-ish to narrow down to 6 good ones to publish) with a much smaller file size setting, but now I'm not happy with the quality of these photos. The 2M camera setting images are (without editing) 633-ish kb. I can get them down to around 40-50 kb using the Web Resizer site. However, ALL the examples Web Resizer uses to show-case the before/after, START OUT smaller than 40-50kb.What parameter of image size would you recommend for photos before they are uploaded to a site? So helpful!! Thanks!

I just got a new camera that takes even larger photos and I was wondering how small I should resize them down to. I'll start around 400 and "play" from there, I think. I've been using Picasa where I can crop, collage, add a watermark, change the file name and then export as a new size to use them, but I'll have to remember Web Resizer too. Thanks, Amy!
