Size as in dimensions of the photo in pixels? Or the actual file size in megabytes?


For the file size, if you choose to email the photo, when you tap on Send, to send the email it can offer to reduce the file size of the Photo. Just choose a smaller size from the menu that appears.


For any other use, you will need a 3rd party app that can compress the photo. Photoshop Express for instance is free for this, but you will need to create an account with Adobe.
