Answer 1

With a any graphics design program. Photoshop has a File > Save for Web ... option that lets you tweak the dimensions and compression rate, and see the result and file size before your eyes. But ANY program will let you save a compressed jpeg.

Answer 2

to reduce the size of the jpeg image open it in windows paint program
start > All programs > Accessories > Paint

Click on image >stretch skew ( give a number smaller, say 5, 5 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.

It's very simple. You can click on the right button of the mouse and go to edit. After the program for editing the picture will be opened you can find the re-size or compress picture button. In this way you can set the size you want. Hope will help you :-)
