New Image Resizing Tool
We are very excited to share the new USC Dornsife WordPress Image Resizing Tool created specifically for our website editors to easily resize images specific to the design components on our website.
You won't need Photoshop or Canva. With this all-in-one tool, you select a web design component from the dropdown, upload your image, crop and preview the new size, and then download your image file correctly sized for the component.
This tool is one you'll want to bookmark for everyday use and send to a colleague who would benefit from using it.
