This could become a real problem especially if you don’t have an internet connection or don’t want to spend time uploading a large file. But there is a simple solution to this problem. In this post, we will show you how to reduce JPEG file size in Windows.

For this method, you don’t need to download any special software or have an internet connection. All you need is a Windows computer and the built-in Paint application.

Firstly, right-click on the image that you want to resize and select “Open with”. Choose the “Paint” option from the list of applications. This will open the image in Microsoft Paint.

Once the image is open in Paint, click on the “Resize” icon. This icon looks like a square with arrows pointing towards the center. You can choose to resize the image by percentage or by pixel. You can reduce the size by a percentage or pixel depending on your preference.

For example, if you want to reduce the image size by 50%, click on the percentage option and change the horizontal and vertical percentages to 50%. Click “OK” to apply the changes. You will notice that the image size has reduced.

You can repeat this process to reduce the file size even further. Once you have reached your desired size, save the image by clicking on “File” and then “Save as”. Choose a location to save the file and click “Save”.

Finally, check the file size by right-clicking on the saved image and selecting “Properties”. You will see the file size in the “Details” tab. You can compare the new file size with the original to see how much the file size has been reduced.

Using this method, you can reduce the size of your JPEG files without using an internet connection or any special software. You can resize multiple images at once and save them in a folder. This can save you time and make it easier to upload large images to websites or send them via email.
