While there are lots of things you should do to improve the download speed of your pages, resizing and optimizing images is an important one. This online tool will help you resize, crop, and even adjust the color of any image up to 5MB in size. What's interesting about this tool is that you can do more with it than just resize. You can rotate, sharpen the colors, change the tint, exposure, and color saturation, and even add a border. For optimizing you can also compare different quality settings (for JPG images) and then choose which one gives you the best image for the size. So even if you don't have a graphics editor, you have no excuse for posting huge images.
