making pics a smaller file size

Is there a software program out there that easily makes digital photos a
smaller size for emailing.
I have a digital camera that takes 6,3,2 mp photos but they are still big
when I go to email them. Some of the services like hotmail etc. reject them
as too big. I understand there are some programs that will somehow shrink
them in size for shipping. I am using Jpeg format currently.

There are dozens of free photo utilities out there. check zdnet.

Since you only want to resize, try Photo Resizer.
When you resize, change the file name slightly, or save to a new folder to
prevent overwriting the original photo.

The odds are your camera came with some software that can do this.
As another poster said, there are lots of freeware programs available.
There are also many good programs you can buy. Paint Shop Pro does just
about everything I need.

If you're running XP, try Image Resizer:

It is absolutely the best if you maintain large collections of photos. It
not only allows you to view large numbers of files as thumbnails, it also
will produce custom indexes for posting collections to binary groups.

Which only works with US English Regional Settings...
