you could either restrict the file size that may be uploaded (php has a built in size limit, but you didn't say what language you're using?) If you're using php, you can use a tool like imagemagick that's installed to the server to resize images. http://www.imagemagick.org/ or the GD library http://www.boutell.com/gd/ hth -chris http://www.semioticpixels.com
