You could compress them using something like WinZip . I'm not sure how much smaller you can get image files, but compressing them will definitely make them smaller.

Hi, I've got some photos I've scanned, and I need to get the file sizes smaller to send to the person who needs them. Does anyone know how to do this? I suppose smaller file size means poorer quality pictures, but how does one do that once the photos are already scanned? When I scanned them in there were options for different qualities (and therefore different file sizes), but the only programs I currently have to deal with them are Microsoft Photo Editor and Paint. I don't know whether there's a way in those programs to save as a smaller file. I'd rather not have to scan them again.
