Wats the best way to compress a picture into a 6kb file, thats way too small and i dont know how i did it last time. How can i compress it with photoshop or paint?

[Magic-Man]

jus decrease the size of the image and quality. i think it is under edit in photoshop, then change image size

Ive made it a 120x120 jpeg and at 0 quality, its still like 14 kbs. I think 6kbs is really hard to do. I have then tried to save it as a web file gif format and its 13.5 kbs, i cant get it that small..........

i take an image from photoshop, convert it into a jpeg and and compress it using paint shop pro, it descreses the image size but not the quality

I got the file size down to 4.839kb Its a jpeg set to high with a quality setting of 77.

Open your image in Adobe Photoshop and go to image--->Resize---->Image size. Then in the width box input 120. Make sure constrain proportions is enabled. After the image is sized go to File---> Save for web. Select Jpeg and underneath that there should be a drop down menu thing that says low medium high and maximum. Select high and adjust the qulaity slider until the file size is under 6kb I'll remove the avatar in a bit

My suggestion would be to make the word "Vinsore" bigger. With a 120 x 80 avatar its a little small.

You could use somewere like imageshack, and have no restrictions.

oo nun chucks, i am pretty good at them if anyone cares...

Just out of curiosity, why is this in special effects?

rhys, I think you are doing something wrong with your jpg compression.

If I take your picture and resize 120x120 : 0 quality gives 1.29Kb and 100 quality gives 14.2Kb. 70 quality gives 5.6Kb.

That is in Adobe Photoshop.
