A free photo editing program is Gimp. It is open sourced, a free download. Click on the Windows link on this page to download.

To get it uploadable, I click on "Image", "Scale Image" tabs. Reduce to 1,024 pixels wide (or high if vertical shot). Then "File", "Export as". I use a ".jpg" extension to export it as that. Usually, default compression will lower content size sufficiently to upload to RCU or RCG.
