Well, Paint could do that, but the quality loss is noticeable. The best would be if you download a program like ACDsee or similar that does the job well. The preferred format to convert into would be JPEG.

Rj and Reboot are right...bitmaps by nature tend to be rather large. (although I've never seen a loss in quality when downsizing a bmp in paint). you will lose some quality when converting to jpeg., but unless the recipient intends to print the file in photo quality you won't notice enough difference for it to matter.
