How to resize photo

On ipad to make it small enough for my avatar here?

I used an app but it still says it’s too big, although the app says its 3kb and the image is now totally pixeled. It says here the size must be smaller than 10 kb. Wtf? That is tiny, something is wrong.

Hi, maybe the dimensions are the problem?

80 by 80 or whatever their limits are?

I have no idea how to do it on any Apple product. In Windows I use Photoshop to resize then save for web. Irfanview (a free program) also does a decent resize/resample and saves a smaller version.
