To reduce the MB size of a photo, you have several approaches based on the resources provided:

1. Using Google Photos:

   • For Android users, you can upload photos in "space saver" quality within Google Photos, which reduces the file size without affecting visible quality.

2. Free Online Tools:

   • Simple Image Resizer allows you to resize and optimize images without installing software. Visit www.simpleimageresizer.com to upload and process your photos.
   • ReduceImages.com offers another online tool where you can resize and compress images. They emphasize privacy since images remain on your device during processing. *Note: Both services support various image formats like JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc., and they allow you to control the level of compression and resolution.

3. Mac Users with macOS Applications:

   • Within the built-in Photos app, select 'File > Export > Export [number] Photos'. Here, you can choose between sizes like Small, Medium, Large, Full Size, and Custom.
