I need to reduce size of image? Can somebody assist me?

Question

I have a 512x512 1.03 mb .ico picture and need to upload it to a website that only accepts pictures 1mb large(or smaller idk) Can somebody help me and tell me a way to reduce the size of the image.

Answer 1

Take a look on this page specially compression of ICO files and 4-bit option.

Answer 2

You can either compress/reduce the filesize of the icon (I recommend using ImageMagick to do this, you can download it here), or you can make the dimensions smaller. However, if you are putting an ico file on a website I recommend using a different image format, such as .png. You can convert it to png using a website called ConvertICO.

I hope this helps,

Santiago
