Any photo-editing program will do resizing and effects for you. I personally use Paint Shop Pro, others use Adobe Photoshop. You can even do some things with MS Paint if you don't have anything else.

well, you all know that PAINT is the best program... maybe when windows 3.1 was released :lol:. But seriously, it isn't that bad of a program once you know how to use it fully...

Barely. I'm pretty lenient on breaking the avatar size rules - so I uploaded it to the gallery.
