4. The Resize Pictures window will popup. In this window, click on Handheld PC. You might want to choose "Small" if you want to have only one picture on one webpage. We would not recommend Medium of Large since the picture would take the entire screen on a PC with 800x600 resolution.

5. We have successfully resized the picture. Now, we can delete the original picture and keep the new one.
