    Hello Brenda. You may attract more interest if you post some of your photos here. As you know they need to be reduced to less than 200 kb. If you are using Windows, go to the main menu and scroll down to Windows Accessories and open Paint. Open your photo file and select Resize in tool bar at the top (near the left of the screen). You can experiment how much you need to reduce the images but I usually start with 20% and then if that is not enough press CTRL-Z and start again, say with 15%. I don’t know if Apple have anything similar. Don’t forget to save the file with a different name, or in another folder, if you want to keep the original intact.

    Martina, the dimensions in pixels of an image is only part of how to reduce a file to under 200kb.
    The other part is image file compression.
    A typical .JPG image from my cellphone’s camera is 4608×3456, and is somewhere between 8.0 to 9.5Mb
    Directly resaving the photo using 50% .JPG compression, a 9.38Mb .JPG becomes 1.16Mb
    Resizing the .JPG to 1920×1440, and then saving the resized image with 50% JPG compression, the 9.38Mb file comes in at 181kb.
