Adobe Photoshop does a professional job, at professional price.
Less expensive is Adobe Image Ready, their program for Web graphics.

I have tried to find a freeware program which does a good clean job of
reducing the size. No success. The closest is American Software's 20/20 from
http://www.hotfreeware.com . This is advertiser supported software -- free,
but it displays an advert when you launch it.

IrfanView does not do a clean job of reducing size, but is a must-have free
program for keeping track of your images & doing basic manipulation & more.
