If you are using windows, open the photo with 'paint' which you will find under windows accessories. Do not use Paint 3d which comes up in the start menu. Click on 'resize' and adjust the pixel size ensuring that the 'keep aspect ratio' box is ticked. Save the smaller photo with a new name.. If you are using Android or iphone, then download a resizing app from from the app store.

I find it impossible to upload a photo to my profile. I have reduced the size in pixels several times, and just tried again using above instructions. Picture appears inmy profile, and says "photo uploaded succesfully". Save and exit. Photo disappears. Been like this for 2 years now.
The pic is uploaded with this message, but wil not save in my profile.

I'm using a Mac - which makes it very simple to re-size photos. A horizontal pixel count of about 1100 gives a photo size of just under 500Mb (or vertical if that's the largest aspect). As chasncath says - keep the aspect ratio the same.
If anyone else is using a Mac and is struggling - shout out and I'll post how to do it.
