Ways to shrink pics for avatar

[TRIGGA]

I was wondering if there any special program or tools on windows XP they can help me shrink a pic from 2 mb to 300k or whatever.

What methods do people use for shrinking the pixels in the pics?

any suggestion? or locations where i can download programs to do so?

I know photoshop works, but I don't have it. Plus, I have no idea how to use it. Where can I d/l photoshop for free of course.

I need something easy to shrink it.

use paint but make sure u keep the aspect ratio and u select the whole pic and use ur mouse to shrink it. if it's square it's super easy, if not u gott look at pixle size in the bottom. if u need one done, just pm and send it over and i'll fix it up for ya LOL

A free and easy alternative to the expensive Photoshop, is one called Irfanview......never used it myself, but I understand it doesn't require too much time to learn........

You can find it for free download HERE
