what kind of picture files?

open it in paint and go to image>stretch/skew> and change the horizontal and vertical percentages to smaller percentages.

if you're talking about in html code, where it says

<img src="URL">

make it this:

<img src="URL" width="size_in_pixels" height="size_in_pixels">

example:

<img src="jhskjhfjsdf.jpg" width="100" height="100">

Answer 12

You can make it converting the picture into a jpg, gif or bmp file using Photoshop:

Open the picture

Then save as jpg, gif or bmp

Corel Draw is a good option too. Also you can ZIP these images so you can manage the file quick and safe: this is a tool included in the Windows versions.

Hope this work for you!

Answer 13

"SHAMAAS" is right but u have to obviously use the mouse, click on the side of the pic, and move inward to shrink it, its still very simple, but shamaas made it sound too much like there's nothing to do,  but other than what i mentioned hes right, open it up in microsoft paint, "paint" than save it as a jpeg
