Introduction
Microsoft Paint has been the main Microsoft Windows component since the very beginning. Paint has a very efficient resizing tool.

A) The percentage will let you resize your image in a proportional way. We don’t recommend resizing your image below 50% for both horizontal and vertical.
B) Pixels will let you decide the exact number of pixels you want horizontally and vertically. It’s pretty useful if you want to adjust the photo to an exact resolution. Then, click on "OK" buttonto proceed.
Note:
1) In both methods, Skew(Degrees) makes you able to control a diagonal stretching/shrinking.
2) Make sure you check (select) the "Maintain aspect ratio" if you want to keep the same ratio length * width.

If you want to replace the original photo with the one you modified, select "Save" from the file menu. (Alternatively, you can press the "Ctrl + S" key to save a file).
Step 5
If you want to save a modified copy while keeping the original one, select "Save as" from the file menu.
Step 6
A new pop window will appear on the screen. Then, give a file name and choose a location for it and click on the "Save" button.
