I believe pixels determine image size?
how can I make something a smaller file size without ending up with small images?
the tools I've found only let you make images smaller, and then they end up being a smaller file size
I just want to change the file size though . . .

A pixel is one picture element and is the unit usually used for digital images. Your desktop for example may have a size of 1024 x 768 pixels and the smilies on this forum are 16 x 16 pixels. The size of the image is given in either the side x side format or as a total number, usually in megapixels.
Depends on the program that you use. I use Paintshop Pro, which allows you to adjust the compression factor of .jpg files when you save them. It reduces the file size and subsequently the quality, but not the image size.
