How do I reduce the file size of a jpeg image?

Question

I have a photo in jpeg format that I am unable to reduce from 110 KB to 45kb. What software can do this?

I can reduce just about any JPEG to an arbitrarily small size by reducing it to a size of 1 pixel x 1 pixel. What constraints do you have which prevent you from doing this? — Philip Kendall, Jul 23 '15 at 12:56
To expand on what Philip is asking: What are you using this image for? What are the pixel dimensions of the image, and can those be reduced? 45kb is rather small, especially for a photograph. — mattdm, Jul 23 '15 at 12:57
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's really more about general image manipulation than photography. Could be a good candidate for Superuser. — Caleb, Jul 23 '15 at 17:12
This question has also been asked almost ad nauseam in the past. — Michael C, Jul 24 '15 at 01:50

You can reduce the quality, then it becomes smaller. For this you can use GIMP, Photoshop, ..

Are you sure that you need such a bad quality?
