If you're using windows, right click on the picture and select 'open with' and you should see "paint."
Once open, at the top you should see a button that says "resize." Select it. In the pop-up menu, make sure "percentage" is checked and "maintain aspect ratio" is checked. Then enter a number in the horizontal field (the vertical field will match whichever number you enter in horizontal as long as maintain aspect ratio is checked). I would enter 50 -- this will cut the picture size in half.
Once you have the new image size, make sure you "save as" and rename so you don't overwrite your original image. Another way to avoid doing this accidentally is to just edit a copy of the image from the start.
