If in your PC, then they must be below 50 KB in file size... run your mouse pointer over the photo in the file and the size (kbs) will show in the pop
up.

To reduce a photo to under 50 KB, there have been a great number of options posted recently.
I still like Neal Johns method of using 'Paint' and making a duplicate, reduced size copy so the original isn't disturbed...
That method has been posted many times.
To find the original place I posted the method, use Nomad SEARCH and type in 'essay contest' by packoderm.
HERE IT IS:
I used Windows Picture It in the past... but the last batch (Erle Stanley Gardner Museum Pics) I tried a new way that the great aridologist Neal Johns
told me, and it was easy and in a program all pcs have (I think), 'paint'.
If 'paint' isn't on your deck top, do this (click on):
a) Start
b) All Programs
c) Accesories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Paint (start here if 'paint' is on your desk top)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) File
3) Open...
3a) then click on the photo to get reduced (double click).
4) Image
5) Sketch/Skew... then change the % down from 100 in both sketch & skew to a lesser number... My photos were taken at normal quality 55-60 kbs.
(vs. HQ or SHQ) and changing the % to around 90% brought the kbs to under 50.
If you are taking HQ images, try reducing to 30%.
Continue to Click on:
6) OK
7) File
8) Save As
8a) now type in a name for the photo or add R to it to indicate it is the reduced one... this is a copy so you don't mess with the original.
9) Save
THAT'S IT!
When you move the mouse over the reduced photo in the files, the kb size will show and let you know if you didn't get it low enough, or too low! In
either case, repeat the steps above... after you do a couple it gets pretty easy.
Neal gets the credit for this method, don't thank me if you like it!
