How To Compress .jpg Files?

[Half-Hound]

I was doing pretty good using this site. But the last topic I tried to post would not transfer. I got an error message that the .jpg files were too large. I tried to send just one photograph, but I still got the error message. I am using a different internet connection on this post. Could that be the difference or are the photographs too large? Everything else except the internet connection is the same as I have been using. Thanks for any advise.

Your pictures are just too large. The easiest way to fix this is open the pictures in Paint. Click resize, and type in what percentage you want to modify the picture by. (For my camera, I use 25% for horizontal and vertical). All you do is save the resized image and then upload it.

I just click into my picture, then go to edit. Then you can size it down by stretching or skewing the picture. I usually reduce mine to like 30%
