Resizing help please

I'd like to use this image as my sig line, but by the time I manage to get it to 20KB, it's an indecipherable blob.

Maybe it cant be done, but if it can I know it can be figured out here:

3. A must-have freebie is Irfanview, an image viewer and basic editor.

DL and install the main program and then the Plugins, and you will have some very easy to use tools to do9 most of what you might want to do. In this case, if I recall correctly, the selection was something like edit/modify for web/ and then a couple clicks to set dimensions and file size limits. (I've moved up to Linux Mint as an OS so it's been a while since I used Irfanview, but it has been the very top rated freeware program in its class for many years.)

4. I also use Linux (ubuntu)

so I also cannot use the M$ based programs. I've still not figured out GIMP, it's not very intuitive or user friendly.

5. There is a Debian package called WineDoors that

makes installing Wine pretty easy. Wine in turn makes most Windoze software runnable within Linux (no need to install XP or Vista, etc). WineDoors also includes one-click installation of many Windoze-native programs within its interface, including Irfanview.

Agree about GIMP, it's a bit puzzling at first. There are other image editing programs written for Linux but I am not familiar with any of them since I use PWP5.0 within Wine. One glitch I haven't solved and a trick or two to get it to run, but it works and I am accustomed to it. If you have been using something you liked within Windoze you might want to give it a try within Wine. If not, maybe spend more time exploring GIMP. "They say" it provides a very powerful and capable set of tools.

(edit to add a little.)
