i don't know how to do it but you need to downsize the file...i think this can be done in a photoshop....
OR-
you can put in the dementions in goolge and search for that size photo...
i'm sure others will chime in will better responces

I think need no bigger than 150pixels (hieght nd width. I forgot the size limit in kb

Note: the maximum size of your custom image is 150 by 150 pixels or 8192 bytes (whichever is smaller
