Size of Photo website seems too large

Guys

I have a problem, i put a photo link on a discussion list but the thing is that at 1.5mb for a photo it puts of potential visitors. I was wondering if the was somewhere i could make it smaller.

www.sdnp.org.mw/~manga/nico.jpg

I dont know if someone can make it smaller but not lose quality of the photo.

Try IrfanView. It is a free utility.

Irfanview is great, I use it all the time. For more complicated image manipulation, try GIMP.

Guys 51, Mairving & Gonzo

Thanx alot it workd really fine using Infra, I will try this GIMP fella. When i got the foto from my DigiCam it had the capital .jpg after Infra it went to the normal one.
Once again thanks I reduced mine to 140k that was 50% adjustment.
