How to compress images

Modified on Thu, 21 Apr, 2022 at 10:48 AM

Sometime sending certain images via email or uploading them to a website isn't possible due to size restrictions.

These images need to be compressed to reduce its dimensions or file size. 


Follow these steps to compress an image file:


  • Right-click the image file
  • Choose Open With, then Photos




  • Expand the Menu by clicking on the three dots (...).
  • Click Resize


  • Choose an appropriate size/quality. 



  • Enter a new file name and save the resized/compressed image (Note: be careful not to overwrite the original image).





Note the difference in file size. The 'Resized' version is much smaller.
