Resizing Images

There are image editors online that you can use. You can also download software or apps to resize your images.

Remember that the resolution of an image won’t lower the resolution quality. However, when the size of an image is increased, pixelation and lower quality resolution may happen.

About Charles Curry

Charles founded his Etsy shop Wall Decal Source in 2012. He opened his decal shop and decided to create a nursery decal for his sisters new baby. Funnily enough he published the decal as an item for sale on his Etsy shop and people really liked it. Well a few years later and his shop has been almost completely taken over by nursery wall decals. He must still be a kid at heart. As Charles tested and tried all sorts of methods to expand his shop he stumbled upon a few simple formulas for consistently growing Etsy sales and views.
