Scroll down halfway, click on "powertoys" tab, download Image Resizer. After that, find pic, right-click on pic (you don't have to actually open it), click on "resize pictures." Choose appropriate size...fyi, it will keep the original pic intact so you'll actually have 2 of the same photos saved, just one will be a different size.

I don't know what the max file size it, but you want to get it down to about 120kb or less.

If not... you can download VSO image re-sizer for free and use that. It has to be less than 100KB (kilobytes) in size.

Easy to use and works good.

100kb always used to be the max, but at some point they secretly raised it slightly above 100kb...I'm just not sure what the limit is now, but I've posted pics above 110kb. :shrug: I guess if they ever lower it back to what it was, all the pics I've posted will also secretly disappear.

Sorry, I'm just a rookie. You know, you're right, Shawn. The MS Office Picture Manager has an editing feature that I've rarely used. It's telling me that the photo is 2560 x 1920 pixels (2.3MB). Can't I just "compress" this? Or should I just specify a percentage when I use the resize setting?

I WAS going to download Dave's resizing tool under power toys but it was apparently already downloaded...

Isn't it overkill to install Bucky's image resizer?

Zoom the picture to the size you like on your screen.

Do a screen capture (the PRTSC button near the top right of your keyboard)

Open the generic paint program and hit Cntrl-v (paste)

Select the image you want with the rectangle select and Cntrl-c (copy)

Choose a new document (alt-F, N), don't save changes

Got to properties (Alt-f, e) and choose 32 x 32 pixels.

Paste (cntrl-v)

Save As (Alt-f, a)

choose jpg

it's easier than it reads above, but it'll give you the picture file you need without additional software.

Uhhhh....not really. 🤦

There ya go. What could be easier than right-click on pic, choose pic size (small, medium, large), done?
