How to fix blurry, pixelated, or slow-loading photos

Some of your photos may be formatted in a way that cause it to display incorrectly.

Worry not! Follow the directions below to fix these photos individually or in batches using freely available utilities.

Step 1: Download FastStone Photo Resizer

Step 2: Gather up your photos

Whether you have one or many photos to fix, place them into a folder on your computer. Keep a backup copy of your original photos for safekeeping.

Step 3: Insert a blank SD card or USB drive into your computer
