How do I make an image file smaller so I can send it by e-mail?

want to know the easiest way?
just open up Microsoft pulisher and copy and paste the picture into there,then click right, Save as picture.
wish it work for you.

To make an image file smaller for e-mail transmission, change the image file size in "Exif Viewer" or "FinePixViewer".
Changing the size of an image file

1. Start up the Viewer and select the folder containing the image you wish to send.
2. Double-click the thumbnail for the image file you want to resize to open the image in its own full-size window.
3. Select "Image size" in the "Image" menu.
4. Set "%" as the "Unit" used for file size display. Then enter a value lower than 100 as the "Width" or "Height" and click the [OK] button.
5. Select "Save as" in the "File" menu to save the image. (You can also reduce the image file size by lowering the quality in "Save as type".)

Hi:

You can change the resolution of the picture you want using software. That way you still have the one with higher resolution and another to send.

My advice is using the resolution 800 x 600. It's the size of a 15'' monitor (normally).

;)

Downlaod Faststone Image Viewer, it's great to check and adjust photo's generally, but if you go to Edit and then Resize / Review, you have a number of choices as to how to re-size your image.

And very good free software that does a good job of this is available at:

I'd suggest using the Image Resizer Powertoy for Windows (if you're using Windows). I use it all the time:

You can just right-click on a file and opt to resize it. You can change the original or make a copy when resizing. It's perfect for posting on blogs or sending as email attachments.
