GIMP = "GNU Image Manipulation Program". Very powerful, if you're
willing to take the time to learn it, especially as it's freeware.
Scaling an image in the GIMP is pretty easy, as are other simple
operations like cropping, basic fills, edits, and transformations, image
file type conversions, etc. but if you want to do more advanced things
the learning curve can be steep and some things are less than intuitive.
That said, it's been my go-to image editing for years.

Not sure where “The Gimp” name goes from as I’ve never seen it referred to anything other than GIMP. Currently GIMP 2.1 This is an open source (ie free) program that is very similar to Photoshop and pretty much uses the same features. Both are very powerful programs but a bit much if you only want to reduce the size of a photo.

Gimp.org has the download link if anyone is interested. Photoshop users will have no issues using it but if you are new to photo editing something opensource and much smaller will be easier and faster.

The Gimp is one bit of photo editing software that my cousin, the crazy

photographer, swears by, so that's another personal recommendation

((I would suggest two free pieces of software: The Gimp, Darktable))
