Its not the size of the picture but rather the size of the file.
If you want free software that will do the job and much much more, try The Gimp. I would also recommend Faststone which is free but has a significant advantage. If you set your PC such that this prog is your preferred software to view your pics it works with almost any format including Raw for most cameras. When you double click o the file Faststone opens quickly and shows your pic on a black background with the file name and size in green in the top left corner but you can stop this showing if you wish. If you press I (that is i) it will show you the EXIF information of the picture, and if you click right on the picture towards the left side it will take you into a simple editing mode.
For attaching a file you need to go into the picture edit capability and change it to fewer colours. Reduce the number from the usual default of 16.7m to something less until the saved file size is smaller than your destination requires and then attach it.

I use MS Paint on the PC, just select "resize" (circled red below) and then resize to about 25% but also use GIMP as mentioned above, that also has various filters for reducing any "noise" etc on your photos.
What are you using as your device. If IPhone or IPad this will help.

Image size too large
Very frustrating on this forum every time I go to post an image it’s too large, from mobile or desktop.
Pictures post at right angles
On occasions when I post a photo it will load sideways. Even when I go back into my phones photo album and edit it to rotate 90 degrees it still loads into my post as sideways. Other members have also had this problem which seems random in nature. Could the web team look at including a “rotate...
