How To Resize Images in Joomla

This tutorial is a response to a question we've been asked often in classes:

"How can I resize images as I upload them?"

We're going to recommend Image Resize. It works so naturally with the Joomla workflow that most people don't even notice it. Here's how to use it:

Step 1: Visit Joomlaforge.net and download the file called plg_imageresize_v.5.zip
Step 2: In the administration area of your Joomla site, go to Extensions >> Install / Uninstall and upload the file.
Step 3: Go to Extensions >> Plugin Manager. Find "Image Resize" and enable it.
Step 4: Go to Content >> Article Manager and edit an article.
Step 5: Click on the image link at the bottom of the article and upload an image. Insert it into the article.
Step 6: Select the image and drag the corners until the image is the size you want it to be.
Step 7: When you view the article on the frontend, Image Resize does all the work for you and creates a new version of your image!

Our Students Love the Training

This is exactly what a true beginner to website design needs! The level of comfort and the guiding the mind to the necessary organizational aspect is phenomenal! We’ve been fumbling with a video here, a video there, and just about every book and written course available for Joomla, and that sense of compassion for the absolute beginner is missing from all of it. This quality of the course and Rod’s soothing voice and genuinely friendly, welcoming manner add to this feeling of “I will finally be able to do it.”
