I tried this out tonight for another post. It worked. You stay in Windows and no other photo apps. The 900x900 limit is the best guide...not file size.

How to resize for new VK limits...Windows version using the basic photo viewer.

I keep any photo on my desktop for ease of finding.

1 - open photo in Windows photo viewer. Usually a double-click to open.
2 - make crop and other adjustments first. Save to overwrite the desktop
photo. If no adjustments, go to 3.
3 - open again and look for the ... (more) button.
4 - click on "resize" and stay with "pixels" and 80%.
5 - lower the W/H pixels to below 900 on both. They will track together. 899
works.
6 - This should get your file much lower. Lower the quality slider to raise file
size but stay low for a file size limit.
7 - Save as above to overwrite the desktop photo again. Test the post in preview. Done.

What Windows OS is that? You didn't specify. I'm using W7 and its a little different. I resize to 640x480. If VK can't handle that, then its their problem!

Windows 10.

I take all my photos and make all my posts from my smartphone so this doesn't help.

I too am using 7. What browser are you using with 7?

That would be Chrome.

For 10+ years I've been using pixresizer. It's about the best I've found and also allows batch conversions for multiple photos. Not only will it resize but you can drop the file sizes down too where a 640 X 480 jpg will be around 25KB.

No idea if there's 64 bit support as I'm still running XP 32.

Here's a link to the latest version.

I uses a free photo resizing app and the name is photo resizer you can get it from Google play store if use apple well then I don't know. Also If anyone uses Linux then Gimp will work but it's not user friendly to beginners.
