How Can I Reduce Pictures on Craigslist With Image Reduction?
Reduce the size of images you want to post to Craigslist in order to avoid receiving error messages that the images files are too large, which prevents you from posting them alongside your ad. Use a free, online resizing tool to resize each photo using a percentage or set dimension. Repost the ad with the resized pictures to successfully complete the process without encountering errors.

Tips & Warnings
Post images of any size to a Craigslist ad if they are hosted online somewhere, such as on your personal web space. If you know the URL Web address to an image, insert the following code directly into your Craigslist ad, wherever you want the image to appear:
<img src="http://www.mywebsite.com/myimage.jpg"></img>
Replace the sample URL with the actual URL of the image.
