Finally a solution to my many problems with posting pictures and stories! It's been bugging me for quite some time. A year now, in fact. It bothered me so much that my screenshots took a bit longer to load because of the sizes and the format, hence there have been fewer pictures uploaded. I had to stop with my storytelling for my main family coz I'm too embarrassed to post the large-file pictures.

Though I still play them and kept my screenies. I personally don't have any problems regarding storing the pictures in my laptop, still have roughly 967GB of unused storage.
I did ask my ever "helpful" husband about a photo editor similar to one I had on my old laptop, and he was like "be careful what you download, ..viruses.. and blah blah". So he was no help after all.
It's so good of you to post this
@Carl . Especially for the non-tech-savvy people like me.
Side Note: I've been using only the Microsoft Editor on my old laptop to resize pictures/pixels and it worked for me before. The files became smaller and easier to load. But this laptop I'm using now (with Window 8.1) doesn't have one. Is it not free? Or unavailable for this?
