I second that www.irfanview.com

Very easy to use

If you're using Windows, MS Paint will do the trick. You just won't have many options as to the filetype when saving. I believe you have to hunt for something like "Stretch/Skew" and plug in some number below 100.

Post it up here, I'll shrink it in about 30 seconds.

Thanks Rabbit. I dont know how to post pics as of this second, let me look around and if I figure it out, I'll toss it right here for ya. I appreciate the help. I've got irfanview, but couldn't get it small enough...

in iview, click and drag, then ctrl-Y to crop first, then resize with image > resize/resample. when you save, set the jpg quality down a bit to perhaps 75%, and it'll probably be small enough. you can re-save at different quality levels without degrading what you see onscreen.

I use photoshop to edit then reload and save from paint to get rid of all the extra usless info photoshop seems to add when it saves.
