				If you're using Windows, just open it with paint, use the handles to make it smaller, then save it.  Or right-click, open with > Microsoft picture manager.  Go to the picture menu at the top > compress pictuse > web page display.
Windows should already have boththose programs.

				Haha, yea messages have to be a certain length.  That Microsoft Office picture manager software works better than paint, but not all computers have it.

				Works better than paint?!
Blasphemy! Nothing works better than paint; yours is the statement of a novice.
Er, or not. The readings of the ancient texts is an imprecise art.
Either way, there is little need for anything more extended than paint for most <i>useful</i> tasks.
To reduce the size and/or file-size of a photo:
1) "control-w" and reduce size
2) select section (everything you want should be within the box), and slide this into the upper-left corner until the top and left boundaries are where you want them.
3) drag the lower-right corner until the right and bottom boundaries are where you want 'em.
4) save as a compact file format, such as .jpg/.gif/.png
done

				I'm just quite partial to more powerful photo editing programs.  I adore Fireworks.  And I find that more powerful programs tend to do a better job of compressing the image whilst keeping the quality good.  Paint makes it grainy sometimes.

				or upload them to photobucket, putfile or a image sharing site.
they compress them automatically.
