Digital File Compression?

Fellow Farkers, does anyone use a program to compress files? For instance, a digital camera creates very large files for high resolution. This makes sense as a digital image is made up of pixels.
The more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the larger the file size.
However, there is a way to compress the file size without losing resolution. Does anyone know how or at least can suggest a program? It doesn't have to be freeware.
Someone suggested:
FILEminimizer
or
PunyPNG. Freeware but the 350 KB is the maximum size.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tim I have only used my basic Paint program that came loaded on my laptop. I don't know how much resolution I'm loosing but it is not enough to effect any of the images I reduce for work.

What format are you saving your images in?
Without reducing resolution, that is a huge factor in filesize. Uncompressed vs lossless compression vs lossy compression.
