Compressing Pictures Already on Your Website

Issue: If you find that it takes a long time to open your web site, it may be because the pictures on your site have not been compressed.  To compress photos already on your site, click on the picture and then click on the Resample icon (left of the pointer icon) on the picture toolbar.  If you don’t see the picture toolbar, move the cursor to the toolbar area, right click and select Pictures.

When you click on a picture in your site which needs to be resampled, a small icon will appear at the bottom right corner of the picture . Select this icon and select resample picture to match size.
