No disregard the person above.





Open your image in The GIMP





go to file%26gt;save as





Click select file type and select JPEG








Click save





then it should take you to a screen that says save as JPEG with a little scroll bar slidey thing.


Check the box where it says show preview in image window





Then Drag the little slidey thing where it says 'quality' until you get to an appropriate file size (it should say that in bold below the slider.





Then Click Ok
Reply:87kB or mB? i think mB! you'nt given extention of file. Save ur img in these size sorted extensions PNG, JPG, GIF.





Make ur img resolution to appropriate. hmm... may be 1024 x 768.
