Hi there.  We support the forum software not the forums that use it, so questions like that should be directed to the forum where you are a member.  That said, you can use any image editor, even Paint if you are using Windows.  Open your image in Paint, click the resize button and specify a percentage, try 60 or 70% to start with, until your image is within the limits.  Save and upload.

Please note that topic titles such as the one you used are of no help to anyone.

Descriptive titles are more suitable.

Having said that www.picresize.com is what I use.

I can vouch for irfanview, I've used it for several years now.

With that, you can also set-up batch conversions, so you can do a whole heap of files, in one hit, if you have the need. :)

Irfanview is good, but FastStone Image Viewer is better IMO (especially it's UI - vastly better)

If you want batch operations - hit F3
