You are probably doing this already, but in GIMP, go to "Image" > "Scale
Image" and change the Width/Height units to "Percent" and change it to
something smaller than 100% and hit "Scale". This should reduce the size of
the image nicely.
For reference, though, when saving to an image format, remember that JPG
will almost always be MUCH SMALLER than PNG (unfortunately), sometimes 2-3x
smaller in size because it is a compressed, lossy format. PNG can also do
compression, but mostly it doesn't compare in file size to JPG. Same with
JPG being smaller than PDF (usually).
Forgive the noise if you've already tried this and knew that about image
types, but that's what I would do.
