How can I change the file size of a picture?

I need the picture file to be less then 1MG, for a website.How can I change the file size of a picture?
There is an excellent program available for free download called IrfanView (see link below).



Install and launch the program...

Open your file that you wish to resize...

On the IMAGE menu, select Resize/Resample...

Set your sizing options, click OK, then save your modified file.



You'll want to experiment with various reductions in size to decrease the file size. Also, if the file is not already in jpeg format, use SaveAs and select JPEG as the file format to save. It tends to be much smaller without serious loss of quality.

The easiest way to change the size of a picture is to crop it in a picture editing program. If you want to maintain the actual size, you can change the file type, save as a different type of picture bitmap, jpg, etc.
open the paint program

start %26gt; All programs %26gt; Accessories %26gt; Paint



Open the image in windows paint program. Click on image %26gt;stretch skew ( give a number smaller, say 50, 50 in the box front of stretch, Horizontal and vertical) press OK. Then save it as jpeg file with another name so that your original file remains intact. Check the final size of the image after saving. Repeat the procedure with the original image if you want it still smaller or bigger, by reducing or by increasing the stretch value.
You could take a screenshot of it when it's on the screen, then trim it out in Paint and then re save it - it should be a lot smaller in terms of file size.
Very Easy



download this program it is free, it can resize your pics in seconds.
If your image is, say, a jpg, then, you could go into an image editor, and convert it to a png.



For example, under Photoshop, under File, there's a selection called, Save For Web %26amp; Devices that'll let you save a jpg file as a png-8 file. That'll reduce the size of the file considerably, for your web page, and it'll display pretty much (almost impossible to tell by eyeballing it except for teensy images) as is! Gimp and PaintShop Pro have similar abilities (PaintShop Pro calls it ';Save for Web';). I don't know what you're using.
If you're using a windows xp... Use the Microsoft Office Picture Manager( MOPM). Select the photo that you want to resize. Right click and open it with MOPM. When the window opens, click the ';edit pictures'; button (found on the upper right part of that window. Then a panel window will appear on the right side. Select crop or resize button. Adjust the picture to the size that you want and voila!You're done!



Crop it if you only want the subject of the picture and not including the background.

Resize it if you want the entire photo.



Also, you can use Adobe Photoshop 7.0 (older version) or Adobe Photoshop CS3 or CS2
