When out and about (say at a pub or brewery) I would like to be able to post on AHB via my phone - as many seem to do when touring the UK or Germany whatever.

My phone pix are over 2MB, any reccomended app to shrink to 100K or so for easy posting?

Also, in general, how do you attach a .jpeg residing on your phone to an AHB post on the fly?

At home I just drag a pic out of dropbox, where my mobile shots go to anyway, shrink it using a desktop program and post from there.
 
If I have to post big pics from my phone I've found it easiest to edit the photo on my phone first and crop it slightly. This edited pic is usually a lot smaller in size. Probably won't apply to all images but works in a pinch.
There's probably a better app for the job but this works for me.
 
More reply options beside post, choose file, attach file preview post and add reply.
I use pixlr express on my galaxy note 2, free from the playstore, givescyou a choice of sizes to save as, im still searching for the best photo editor but this one works ok.

oh yer, i just checked the size of the above collage is 71.04 kb so it resizes them smaller than the 2mb you asked about
 
Thanks BT, mine's a Note so I'll give that a go.
 
What about apple
 
Test. This is straight from a Samsung Note 3, no other s/w to resize.
