What size is the original? If it is larger than 7 inches on one side, you will have no problem cropping it to a 7x7 inch, 300 DPI image file ... just remember to save it as a new file name so you do not overwrite the original image.



If your image is smaller than 7 inches on its shortest side, your image may not meet the criteria of the ';contest';



You can download Photoshop for a 30 day trail to accomplish what you need.How do i change a digital photo to a 7x7 inches (to print it)?
Google Picassa is a free download I like alot. it will do no good unless your printer accepts 7x7 photo paper or you are willing to print on copy paper.

hope you two win.
Download Irfanview.com it's free. Use ';resize'; and ';save as';.
You can download a free graphics editor called ';irfanview';. It's free, it's easy to use, and it doesn't install viruses or spyware or sign you up for spam.



Use it to resize your picture until you're happy with it. You may need to shrink it or enlarge it or crop it to get it to the size you want, though.
Most softwares provide option to resize the photos in pixels and not in length and breadth( as you have asked).

I can suggest a simple way to you, and it really works.

I hope you have Microsoft Office 2007.

Step1.Open Microsoft Office Word 2007

Step2.Click on ';Insert'; and then insert the photo you want to resize.

Step3.Click on ';format'; and then on ';crop';(you will find it on the top right corner)

Now crop the photo to make it a square(you will find the menu for dimension in inches just to the right of the ';crop'; menu.)

Step4.Once you have cropped your photo into a square, then using the menu for the dimensions, you can change your photo to 7x7 inches easily.
