How do I get the correct image size?

1. To resize an image to the required dimensions of 120 x 120 pixels, first go to picnik.com.
2. Once there, click the Get started now! button.
3. You will now see the Upload Photo button. Click on it and choose the picture you'd like to upload.
4. Now click the Crop button and use the square to crop your picture and then click OK.
5. After cropping the picture, click the Resize button and change the dimensions of the picture to 120 x 120 pixels and click OK again.
6. You will then have to click the Save & Share tab: http://screencast.com/t/uetdtizP9

Dear Mark,
I have a problem with uploading the images.
Almost of all images I want to upload are rectangular. (Please imagine the dimention of common picture. These are slightly rectangular.)Therefore I cannot change these image to exact required dimention 120x120 pixels.
What should I do to deal with this problem?

If you follow the instructions in the post above the image will be condensed into 120 x 120 but the proportions will change. The other thing you can do is to use a software like www.resizr.com which will allow you to crop your image into a square shape which you can then resize to 120 by 120 without distorting the proportions.

I have also been told that www.paint.net is an excellent free software for handling images. I hope this helps.
