How can you make a picture's KB decrease?

Answer 1

If you haven't yet taken the pictures, if you can alter the camera settings for the size of the photo to be taken to the lowest possible size and quality.

If you have already taken them, download them to the computer and alter their size by or a suitable propriety program if you have one, or freeware programs such as "PictureTray" or "Photo Resizer". See the related question. If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements on your computer, you can click on the "Image" menu then "Image Size" and enter your values, or you can select "Canvas Size" and enter the values if you want to reduce the size of the canvas that the picture is on without shrinking the actual image itself.

(Of course, you could always crop them , but make certain you always work on copies).

If by 200k you mean file size: using Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Photoshop Elements might also have this feature), open the image that you want to reduce the file size of, then click on "File>Save for Web & Devices..." This will open a preview window of what your image will look like when you save it. Near the bottom left corner of this window it will display what image type is selected for the output and below that it shows the size the file will be once it's saved. On the right side you can select the image format (bmp, jpg, png, gif, etc) and other adustable options below that. PNG-8 and JEPEG will usually give you smaller file sizes. After you select a file format, you can then play around with the Quality or Colors setting, the more you reduce them it will reduce image size, but it will also reduce the color variation in your image, so it is up to you to decide when to stop adjusting it and how much reduction is too much.

Answer 2

To get a smaller file size you have to compress the data in one of two ways. One change the file format you're using. JPG is an already compressed file format. The other is to lower the document size and/or resolution of the file. FYI - When you compress the data or lower the resolution you are throwing away data, so the photo won't print as clearly, but is usually fine for viewing on screen.

Answer 3

You can decrease file size by choosing image size in Photoshop and decreasing the actual size and/or resolution. Just remember, the smaller the file size the less information retained and reproduction quality is compromised.

Answer 4

You have to go to any resizing web sight you will have to make your picture smaller .

Answer 5

You might have to crop it or resize the image. Can also be done by resaving in a different format, but each reduction in size will reduce the quality of the image.
