I'm not sure what program you are using but I'm going to assume you dont have photoshop or paintshop. I know ms paint comes with all window assuming you are on a windows machine. Open the image in paint. Go to Image -> stretch/skew. Put in new horizontal and vertical percentages and click ok. Now File -> Save as. Make sure to save as a .jpeg and not a .bmp

That should work for you. If you have photoshop or paintshop pro there are better ways to go about this so let me know.

Easiest thing I know is image resizer, free from microsoft, search microsoft power tools. Quick and easy.

Open your photo in PS then click on file in the upper left corner.

Then ...Save for web

In the new size window change to 700

click ok then save.
