So you've got a photo that's way too big, right? Maybe it's clogging your phone storage or looking totally beaten-up when you upload it somewhere. Don't panic — resizing photos in Windows 10 is actually super simple, even for the tech-hesitant among us.
First, pop open File Explorer and find the photo you're working with. Right-click on it, hover over "Open with," and choose Paint. Yep — good old Microsoft Paint. It's been hanging around since forever and honestly, it's still one of the easiest tools for a quick resize.
Once Paint loads, click the "Resize" button in the top toolbar. A little box will pop up asking how you want to adjust things. You can go by percentage or by pixels. Personally, I'd stick with percentage unless you've got a very specific dimension in mind — no need to overthink it, friend.
