Trouble resizing

I downloaded the Irfan View and followed exact instructions for resizing but I am still receiving an error message that says: Zeus.jpg (exceeds filesize limit). What am I doing wrong?

Filesize is the size in bytes (kilobytes, megabytes, etc), NOT the picture dimensions. The maximum filesize you can upload is 100 kb. If you are getting that error, then your photo is larger than 100 kb, and you need to reduce it.

You could do that by reducing the dimensions. A better way though, is to reduce the photo quality (it will not be apparent on a 640 x 480 picture), or dpi. Just a small reduction in quality will make a huge difference to the filesize of the photo.
