In your picture editing software, under edit maybe...What are you using?

Use some sort of Photo Editor. On a Window PC, Microsoft Paint is probably installed. Or any variant of Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Adobe Image Ready, Paint Shop Pro, PhotoImpact or any other Photo editing s/w you might have. You can also download ACDSee, an image cataloger with photo enhancing capabilities built in. It's free.

You'll need to resize the image using the image size function till it's under 500 pixels in the bigger dimension. Also change the resolution to 72 ppi. and the filesize should be small enough. I think SB allows your profile pic to be up to 100K. If the image is still too big after resizing/changing the rez, you'll have to compress it using the programs .jpg compression option, usually this is a slider or a value you change to worsen the resolution slightly to reduce the filesize.

PM if you have any further questions,
