What's the limit? If it's something like 2MB, just resizing it does most of the work. A phone photo at full size is huge and nothing needs 4000 pixels wide. Windows: open it in Paint, Resize, set 50 percent, save as JPG. Mac: Preview > Tools > Adjust Size, or File > Export and drag the quality slider left a bit, you can see the file size update as you go.
