11. To resize, click the image. Click on the small square in the bottom right and drag to the appropriate size.

Note: Try to use appropriately sized images from your computer rather than overly relying on the resize option.
- If you use too large a file, and resize it smaller, it will take a long time to load
- If you use too small a file and resize it larger, the quality will not be great.
