Photo too large

[Grahambythesea]

I am trying to upload a picture for the thumbnail for a bass I wish to sell, but it keeps telling me it’s too large a file exceeding 1024kB. How can I reduce it? I’ve tried new pictures and to change setting on iPhone camera but cannot find any way. Can anyone point me the way?

I got around this years ago by hosting my photos on a hosting site (Imgur.com; it's free, and works quite well; other picture-hosting sites exist...). I post a Direct Link here, so the BC servers are not loaded with my pics, whatever their size or format. Any help..?

The thumbnail will automatically generate from the first picture in your advert, if that's easier.
