How to resize an image on an iPhone using Image Size
Image Size is one of the best iPhone photo-resizing apps, and as long as you're willing to view the occasional ad, it's totally free.
Once you launch the Image Size app and grant it access to your photos, using it is easy.
Tap the icon of a photo at the top left of the app screen (it looks like a mountain inside a box) and select the photo you want to resize from your Photos library.

Once you are happy with your picture's shape and file size (and you have made any other edits within the app), tap the arrow facing down to a line at the bottom of the app to save the resized image back to your Camera Roll.
