I am trying to post pictures on a Craigslist site and they say I need to reduce the pixel size on my .png pictures and I don't know how to do that.

    You have a lot of options, here's one of my favorite:

    1. Right-click the picture file and choose "Open With : Paint"
    2. On the toolbar, click the Resize option and put in the new size (you can type in either the desired length or height, and the other value will scale to match the same ratio size).
    3. When done, click save and then upload the file again.

    No problem, love to help.  There's a ton of great software out in the world, but I use so many different computers or switch so often that I try to do everything I can using only the built-in programs.  And besides, you can't beat free.

    Shawn, you have helped me once before, and you have helped me once again. Your advice for resizing my pixels in my photos was excellent. I followed your advice and was able to upload my pictures to the application that required a smaller pixel size. Great advice. Thanks again!
