We get many inquiries from our users on how to resize their custom receipts<\/a> after they have created them with our tool. \u00a0Our receipts are generated at high resolution and larger than actual size in order to allow you to print and scale accordingly. \u00a0Let’s look at two ways to resize these receipt images.<\/p>\n

Scaling the Receipt using Microsoft Word (or Google Docs)<\/h2>\n

First, open a blank Word document. \u00a0Next click “Insert” and choose Photo and the “Picture from File.” \u00a0Then pick the receipt .JPG image \u00a0you received.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next click the image of the receipt<\/a> on screen and then grab one of the corners to scale the image accordingly. \u00a0Your custom receipt can be sized this way as large or as small as you would like.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you’ve resized the custom receipt, you are ready to print your receipt. \u00a0Here, we’ve scaled the image approximately 30% smaller than the original.<\/p>\n

Scaling the Image using Printing Options<\/h2>\n

The 2nd option for scaling an image is to simply use the “Scale” feature within the printing dialog.\u00a0 Printers and printer drivers vary – but most printers offer the ability to scale the image upon printing. In this case, we are printing the image from the “Image Viewer” or “Preview” application on your computer.<\/p>\n

Simply select “Scale” from the print dialog window and adjust the size to adjust the size of the image on the page.<\/p>\n
