on the forum i run i require that all avatars be images of size 30 pixels x 30 pixels. lots of people on the forum are not tech savy and have trouble finding/cropping/resizing a 30x30 image.

what’s the easiest way to do this on both a mac and windows system. are there built in programs on each OS that can crop and resize? are there free programs for each OS that can crop and resize?

thanks
