posting pictures

I have decided maybe it's time for me to get out of my funk and start being a participant in my own life. As such, I thought I'd post a few pictures of, oh I don't know, maybe some quilts I finished this year or the birds or whatever. But, and admittedly I haven't been posting here for some time, when I tried to put a picture here, it told my the size of my file was too big. Um.......file size? What the heck is that? (Coming from a person who still uses a flip phone...LOL) Am I doing something wrong? Same digital camera I've always had. How do I make the file small enough to post? And remember, technology is NOT my friend. LOL

Are you able to email the picture out? I can reduce the size and/or crop it to just the subject for you... There are others on here that can do that as well.

There is a website that you can load your pics to to change the size and do all kinds of fun things with for free (and even more if you pay a fee for the premium things). It's called Pic Monkey (www.picmonkey.com)

I down-load all my pics off my phone to my laptop in Original files, then the ones I want to adjust, I use the website and save to new files such as projects 2017, in the main Animal file & then in other smaller files (chix, ducks, dogs, cats) or Ponies & then under "Pony Name". Then I can put them on this forum directly. I also then load them to the internet in on-line photo albums - but that's harder to do now... and for some reason not everyone can "see" the photos I've linked to in Google photos since Google changed their formats last year.

Edit to add: I"D LOVE TO SEE PICS OF YOUR QUILTS!!!
