Making Pictures files smaller in size?

Question

I have tried making my pictures smaller in paint but it doesn't work. I can I get my picture size smaller. They are currently about 1.2 to 1.5 each and I need them less than 256kb each.

Answer 1

You need a good photo program to save them into jpg files. I use Corel Draw. It could be that MS Windows Paint will do this. Use the Save As option and choose jpg.

Answer 2

Try to convert them into JPG ( if BMPs ) , or if you don't need a high quality , convert them into GIF format ( also using paint )..
If they are BMP , ofcourse smalling them will distroy all the details , so convert'em into JPG , then go to IMAGE (in paint) > stretch/scew > 50% 50%

And this will work as I think ... hope so

Answer 3

For the Best use Photoshop cs
it is the best to do it for you.
it is a little bit advanced but you need it for just resizing and that is a simple task to do without tutorials.
good luck

Answer 4

Since you only want to resize, try Photo Resizer.
When you resize, change the file name slightly, or save to a new folder to
prevent overwriting the original photo.

There are dozens of free photo utilities out there. check zdnet.
