Or you can let the site resize them and by doing that it strips them of information automatically.
Irfanview is very good, and now GIMP is available for all PC formats, much more powerful program/tool.I posted this in another thread
This program is free and one off the easiest to use when it comes to re size and striping the META information of your pics , re sized pics are quicker to upload and hell my uploads get counted in my overall internet usage so why pay to upload a 4mb pic when you can re size it and bring it down to less than 200kb...hmm thats all

A little how to
open pic with irfanveiw
select Image (pulldown menu)
resize/resample ....enter
select the size you want..1024 x 768 works for me
press OK
select file (pulldown menu)
select save as or save in original folder and follow prompts
EASY
