Hi,

I would like to resize a picture to a specific file size. For example, no more than 200KB.
What is the best approach to achieve this with C# .NET ?

Thanks !

You may adjust color-depth, image dimensions, compression ratio, etc...
Anyway you'll obtain a deterministic result only with uncompressed picture files (e.g. bitmaps). For compressed ones (for instance jpeg images) I suspect you've to go with successive approximations.
