By , About.com Guide

Images seldom come in just the right size to fit everyone's needs. However, resizing clip art isn't difficult if you follow a few guidelines:

  • Bitmap images look best if resized smaller, not larger

  • Bitmap images that need to be larger can sometimes be resized up to 10% larger without too much visible degradation of the image

  • Vector images are the easiest to resize both larger and smaller

  • Use graphics software to resize clip art. Don't do it in page layout software

Extra Tips: Make it smaller | Make it bigger | Why Not Resize in a Page Layout Program | Turn one image into many
