Or you could just open them in MS Paint, something that comes on literally EVERY computer running Windows. It's in your Start Menu under Programs/Accessories menu.

Just open the image, hit CTRL+W, change the first two numbers to 50% and click OK. Image will be reduced to half of the visible size. When you save the picture, it will also be optimized to be smaller. Much easier, no special tools required.

I personally use the 'Irfan Viewer' software. It's free and super simple. Very small download.
