     Open the file in paint.
 Use the selection tool to copy the very small bit that will show in the avatar.
 Do file-new
 Then do paste - you now have  small-ish pic of your avatar
 Go to image-attributes and check the pixel dimensions
 Now go to image-stretch/skew and reduce the size by an appropriate percentage
 Save your result as a new file name !
