Thread: can I resize a logo?

Hi Guys,
I have just made a new logo for one of our sites, lorissecrets and we like it a lot. However the page weight is telling me it is over 50kbs, almost half the page size!
Is there any way I can reduce the size without losing too much of the detail.
I can't pull it into pix resizer or photoshop.
Thanks for your time.

50kb isn't terribly bad, especially if its a large logo.

What file type is it saved as?
With photoshop you can do things like making the color mode indexed, reducing the quality if its a jpg.

What do you mean you can't pull it into pix resizer or photoshop? If you mean that a file of its format can't be opened in either then your not going to be able to use it on a website as I browser also won't be able to display it.

Hi Watdaflip,
thanks for thaking the time.
The logo is a png file. and altough photoshop & pix can´t find it in my BV files. It is already on my site. It is BV made logo
I may have figured out a solution - I wanted to use it as a headed on our letterheaded paper, so I copied it from the live site and saved it to desktop. It has saved as a jpeg and I was able to import it into photoshop.
I'll try pix next.
Thanks again for the help.
Regards,

If its a png file I would keep it saved as that unless you know that it doesn't have use any transparency or opacity. jpg's won't save that information and it will be lost.
