Find MS Paint and send a shortcut for it to the desk top. Save any pictures
as JPGs.

drag and drop the JPG icon onto the MS Paint icon, and it will open
instantly. Go to "Image" on the top menu. Select "Stretch/Skew" from the drop down
menu. This gives a size option starting with 100% displayed in both horizontal and
vertical windows. I just change 100% to 40% in both windows and go to "File",
then "Save As" another menu opens with a window for the name of the file, and
a second for the file type with the various photo formats. Leave it as a JPG,
but add web to the end of the name so it won't overright the original. Go
back to the desktop and there will be the second JPG icon with web added to the
same name. Right click on the new icon to get a menu. At the bottom of that
menu is properties. Select properties. At the bottom of properties is the file
size. Most sites limit us to 50 Kilobytes. That size will down load in less than
one minute, over a phone line, and still have good quality.
If the file is still over whatever size you want, repeat above but use 30%
and try that.
There is a copy of Paint in every MS powered computer.
