A number of websites on the Internet let you reduce the pixel size of images stored on your computer. Upload the image to the website and use the provided software. This software is installed on the Web server of the site and does not require you to install anything on your computer. Once the image size reduction process is complete, download the resized image to your computer.

Alternately, specify a custom pixel size by selecting a "Custom" radio button and typing the new pixel size (such as 800) in the adjacent box. To specify pixel reduction in percentage, choose a percentage option, such as 75 percent, 50 percent or 25 percent.
