Macs
In the Mac Preview program, choose Adjust Size in the Tools menu. You can adjust the resolution to 72 pixels per inch as well as change the pixel Width and Height. The resulting size in MB or KB will be displayed. Continue adjustments until your file is under 4 MB.
PCs
In the PC Preview program (like Windows Photo Viewer), select Adjust Size under the Tools menu. You can adjust the pixel Width and Height.

The preview program on both MACs and PCs offer the ability to change your file type. Additionally there are many sites that support file conversion, be careful to use a reputable site.
Macs
