I use Photoshop to reduce the image size. There are other programs out there. You could try a search of this site.
1. open the picture(with MSpaint or whatever program) 2. click File--->save as 3. when the save screen pops up change the --save as type--- window to JPEG upload the new version of the file.

Hi, I haven't looked at all the posts on the forum but has anyone suggested or tried putfile or photobucket ?
sorry forgot to mention but the site addresses are www.photobucket.com and www.putfile.com both are free and image hosting is a breeze.
I know this is old but it comes up a lot on forums. For many I think Microsoft's Power Toy is the easiest way to reduce the size of pictures for forums and email. It's free... Find picture, right click, choose size, done. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx This is what you want... Image Resizer This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click.
png is actually better for the archived copy of a photo you have. To get the photo under size for uploading here, you are better off THEN converting after to JPEG after resizing. The JPEG format is called a LOUSEY compression format because it looses image information each time you alter and save the image. Ruben PS - This is one reason why it is better to just copy and rename a graphic from a digital camera rather than saving it under a new name with an image program.
