Here is a simple program to help you to reduce the size of image in pixel.
Please give it a look

Found this method on one of the threads of CodeProject[^]

public static void ResizeImage(string image, string Okey, string key, int width, int height, string newimagename)
    {
        System.Drawing.Image oImg = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Okey] + image));
 
        System.Drawing.Image oThumbNail = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(width, height);//, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb

        System.Drawing.Graphics oGraphic = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(oThumbNail);
 
        oGraphic.CompositingQuality = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
 
        //set smoothing mode to high quality
        oGraphic.SmoothingMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
        //set the interpolation mode
        oGraphic.InterpolationMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
        //set the offset mode
        oGraphic.PixelOffsetMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
 
        System.Drawing.Rectangle oRectangle = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
 
        oGraphic.DrawImage(oImg, oRectangle);
 
        if (newimagename == "")
        {
            if (image.Substring(image.LastIndexOf(".")) != ".png")
                oThumbNail.Save(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Okey] + image), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            else
                oThumbNail.Save(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Okey] + image), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
        }
        else
        {
            if (newimagename.Substring(newimagename.LastIndexOf(".")) != ".png")
                oThumbNail.Save(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Okey] + newimagename), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
            else
                oThumbNail.Save(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/" + ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[Okey] + newimagename), System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
        }
        oImg.Dispose();
    }

If the image has reasonable quality and compressed reasonably well, you cannot keep its quality if you reduce the size. Note, that you did not really explain what do you mean by size: size in pixels or size of image file in bytes. In both meaning, the problem is pretty much hopeless. Well, if you are talking about size of file, and the file was not compressed or poorly compressed, you usually can compress it better and hence keep subjective quality reasonably well.

As the question is not certain enough, I cannot provide more detail, but my past answers could help you:
resize image in vb.net[^],
Read Big Tiff and JPEG files (>(23000 x 23000) pix) in a stream. And display part of it to the screen in realtime.[^].

Here's a tip, create a

<div></div>

for your image and for example you want your image size to be 20px x 20px
then set your div size to that.

Then use photoshop to resize the image.

Hi,

I'll go with the code which was given by Krinal Rohit. But be adviced that some PNG images cannot be re-sized with convesional methods described above. Though it good for beginners to learn the basics of drawing using Asp.Net namespaces like System.Drawing and System.Drawing.Imaging.

There are online tools like TinyPng.com and Online Image Re-sizer with which you can get the desired result. tinypng.com can reduce the size of a PNG image drastically.
