I've tried four sites that seem like good choices, but my image doesn't come out small enough with the use of any of them.
ADVICE: can you advise me on this process, or perhaps point me to a site where it's easy to reduce an image's size?

HELP: is this something you'd be willing to do for me? (This is the weeny's way out.)
Thanks for whatever direction or assistance you can offer.

(1,423 posts)I don't have a link - I only have the image. And I can't figure out how to get it here.
Can you tell me how to get it a link?
I'm not the most ignorant in town, but sometimes I come close. 🤔

(50,288 posts)There seemed to be an irreducible extra 15 kbytes for the extraneous info, but I was able to eliminate it by telling it to not make a colour profile and unchecking a few options like that.

(1,423 posts)But I can't find a way to change the size. According to DU's avatar instructions, it has to be 48x48, or 10kb. A lot of folks have weighed in with advice, but I'm still lost.

(17,521 posts)... it changes image sizes very easily. You download it at their site: https://www.irfanview.com/ And then click on the image you want to shrink, which opens the program. Under "image" in the title bar will be the option to resize/resample the image. You choose that and pick the size you want.
It will preserve the same ratio between sides, however. So, if your origin image is not square, you'll need to mask off a square portion that contains the part you want and make a new image of that, then set its size to 48X48. Then save it wherever you save pictures.
As for image size, that depends on format, but a 48X48 .bmp will come in easily under 10 kb. Irfanview lets you convert any image format to any other, just save it under the new format.
