How To Make Cell Phone Photo's Larger

I have just now tried taken photo's a little better with my cell phone. I sent the photo's over to my email address and uploaded them in my computer. I noticed they have come out very small. I noticed a icon "download to zip" which I did. The photo's were larger when I pulled them up this way but the only thing this will let me do is either "Save as background" or "Delete" I cannot save them. Any ideas. Oh I forgot to mention I have a Nokia Lumia 710. Thank you Lori

The chances are that you can't get larger photos as this depends on the number of pixels your phone uses. But try search the menus available to you on your phone to see if you can change the image size. Programmes like Paint Shop Pro will allow you to increase an image size but you are likely to lose sharpness.

Further to my previous post - I believe the Lumia has a high pixel count for photos so you should really have something really larger than you have posted.

Its a 5 megapixel camera giving images at 2592x1944pix
This gives a picture size of 8.6" x 6.48" at 300ppi.

On my old Nokias I downloaded via the "Nokia suite" which later became the "Ovi Suite". I don't know if this the up to date method for Nokia images, but it works well on my non-Lumia phones.

I suggest you read the manual or call the Nokia help line
to find out how to download the images. I am guessing you are seeing only a thumbnail on your email.

Thank you for that information. I am still learning about photo's from my phone so will call Nokia.

Why not simply plug the phone into the pc, download directly from the directory on the phone into say, elements and resize

Remember when you install from Cnet UNCHECK all the boxes or you get toolbars etc installed too

Have you tried to connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable? Might get an option then to use it as "Mass Storage" and then just drag, or copy, from the phone to your computer's "My Pictures" folder. This should preserve the original size.

Thank you to everyone for helping me make my cell phone photo's larger. I found out I had to download Zune and the photo gallery lets me edit photo's which I never thought I could do. I am so excited. Here are the same photo's larger I hope.
:P
