You can upload it to Photobucket. Then you can resize it on there. Photobucket is great, and free. Also, you can upload as many pictures as you'd like to. You can resize it from there to many different sizes that are already built in.



Also, if you want more control over the size, you could bring it into Photoshop, Gimp, or any other editing program and edit the ';image size';. Make sure that you're editing pixels and not inches or centimeters in the drop down boxes, and enter in 500 to the biggest dimension (either height or width).
You can probably find a program on your computer (it's there by default) where most of the times, you type in what dimensions you want to resize your photo to.

Such programs might be Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

You might wanna crop it if you want to change the set ratio of the height to width before resizing though.

You can also sign up on something like Photobucket (it's free), upload your picture and then edit it on there; there are a lot more options besides resizing and cropping on Photobucket, if you don't have a picture editing program on your computer.
Digital cameras produce huge file sizes. There are many free websites like Image Optimizer, Web Resizer, Image Resizer, Shrink Pictures to help you create smaller images. Reduced file size enables faster loading, better management of the pictures and space saving - without loss of picture quality. These products can also help you convert images between different formats.
