How to Resize Pictures on GIMP
GIMP is a free, open-source image editing program for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and other operating systems. While GIMP doesn't have all the features found in photo-editing applications such as Adobe Photoshop, it contains plenty of features in its own right. Like all image editing applications, GIMP contains a dialog for resizing images, which it refers to as "scaling" images.
