Resizing jpeg Image files

Can anyone tell me a good way to lower the file size of jpg files other than just resizing the image?

I want to use an image for the start-up page but it needs to be lower than 256kb to work.

(The image I want to use is 1.8Mb)

Thanks

You can increase the compression ratio but at the increased loss of quality.

some times renaming in different format decreases the size!!!

It's fine, I've found a program to do for me now

Hi, Would be interested to know what program you are using? I have same problem, I have jpg image and need to make the size smaller so I can upload it to my kwick profile.

Hi, sorry it was just a program to change the log on screen automatically but it resizes the jpeg file automatically during the process.
