I'm a bit in my cups at the moment.
How I can I shrink an image without making it look all pixilated?

Well, if you have something like Photoshop, ImageReady, or Paint Shop, use that. If you don't, use Microsoft Word and print-screen it into MS Paint. :yes: Unfortunately, the MS Word technique may make the image hard to transparify in Paint. :/

Ah, I've learned several ways. ;)

1) Select the image and press T while holding Ctrl or go to Edit, Transform, Free Transform. You'll be scaling the selection like in Paint but, thanks to the 1337n3ss that is Photoshop, it won't become all pixelated. You still have to make sure you don't distort it by making it too wide or too long unless you figure out how to lock it so you can't do that. I forgot how but I think there is a way. You should be able to do it without locking it, though.

2) Go to Edit, Image Size, and then adjust the attributes of the image accordingly.

3) When saving for web, click the image size tab and adjust the attributes accordingly some more.

That's how. I didn't know (or maybe just didn't think about) that way ShadowBanana. Cool, thanks for posting that. May the force be with you, Dragon107. :yoda:

Yes, Photoshop does an excellent job of rescalling with no pixelation no matter how you do it as far as I can tell. The only time that I've ever seen pixelation through resizing with Photoshop is when doing extreme enlarging. If you ever get results that you don't like though you may need to use a different file type to work with: the best thing to do whenever doing major edits to an image is save as a photoshop file to work with and then save for web when you are finished.
