The file size of the images depends ot the format. For example a bitmap mage (.bmp) is a very large file, but the same image converted into a .jpf format is much smaller (of course the quality is slightly lower). You can also use .gif which is the best for web sites. Simply load the image in MS Paint, select File-> Save As an from the drop-down menu choose the format you want and the press OK.

You can try Irfanview, it's free (ACDSee and Photoshop are fine too but they're not free) from http://www.irfanview.com/ \nIt also has a nice batch edit function so you can resize a whole folder at one go.\n\nBasically if you resize to 1024 on the longest side and save as JPG with 80% compression, it should give you a file in the one to two hundred kilobyte range.

A simple way would be to use a photo editor like Microsoft Photo or Adobe Photoshop or even Microsoft Paint that comes with Windows.  Each of these has the ability to change the resolution and size of the file.
