A good bit of info in Paul’s post above.

Personally I right click on the file and press ‘edit’ which for me opens in the image in MS Paint.
I then use the ‘resize’ tool and resize it to 800 horizontal pixels, if the vertical is then 600 or less then bingo, it’s done. If vertical is still above 600 pixels then reduce it to 600 pixels and save the file. The tool on MS Paint keeps the ‘aspect ratio’ which means it changes both dimensions relative to each other so the image doesn’t look squashed.
