How Do I Adjust My File Size?
Both Mac and PCs offer a photo preview program that enables you to adjust your file size. To find it, click on your photo or image to open the preview tool.
Macs
In the Mac Preview program, choose Adjust Size in the Tools menu. You can adjust the resolution to 72 pixels per inch as well as change the pixel Width and Height. The resulting size in MB or KB will be displayed. Continue adjustments until your file is under 4 MB.
PCs
In the PC Preview program (like Windows Photo Viewer), select Adjust Size under the Tools menu. You can adjust the pixel Width and Height.
How Do I Convert My File To A .jpeg?
The preview program on both MACs and PCs offer the ability to change your file type. Additionally there are many sites that support file conversion, be careful to use a reputable site.
Macs
In the Preview program, choose Export in the File menu. In the format section, choose JPEG. You can also adjust the file size at the same time by using the Quality slider.
PCs
On a PC, you'll need to open the file with a Photo Viewer, then, under the menu choose Save As and select .jpeg. This will convert the file to a .jpeg. You may need to then resize the image so that it is under 4MB.
