Reduce Image Size?

My son gave me several digital images (Tiff and BMP) which are too large
(over 65 MB) to show with several programs. Is there an easy way to convert
these pictures to jpg format and reduce the size?

Irfanview is free and does this very well.

I usually just open them in 'Paint' and save as JPEG.

As Andre Da Costa suggested you can use the Paint program [comes with Vista]
to both manually reduce the dimensions [and thereby reduced file size] if
you wish, as well as save in .jpg format [which would usually reduce the
size of a picture file]
