Sometimes it is necessary to reduce a file size image so that the pixels are smaller and easier to send or upload pictures online, especially if a picture is taken with large megapixel camera. Additionally, many people use Microsoft Office software to create or view their documents and one frequent program used may be the MS Picture Manager to view images, such as when viewing an image sent via email with an attachment.
 * How to reduce a file size image using Microsoft Office Picture Manager**
 * Step 1**: To reduce an image file with MS Picture Manager, first download the image whether it is viewed from email or an image found online. Open the image using MS Picture Manager program, which is usually located in “Microsoft Office Tools” as seen below:


 * Step 2:** Open the picture where it is saved and on the **Formatting** toolbar, click “Edit Pictures”.


 * Step 3:** The **Edit Pictures** task pane should open, then click “Resize”.


 * Step 4:** Select the options in the **Resize settings**, such as selecting the “Predefined width x height” for easy viewing in emails or web, or select the “Custom width x height” to type in exact pixel required for the image, or change the “Percentage of original width x height”. Once the settings are set to reduce, check under the **Size setting summary**, which is below the **Resize settings** options in the task pane window to verify the new image size is set smaller or set to the specified, reduced image compared to the original image.


 * Step 5:** Click on “File”, then click “Save as” to save the image at a specific location, such as the Desktop so that it is easy to locate, then upload the image to the web or email for quicker viewing.
