Where do I start? Any advice would be welcome..

Question

I am a relative noob.startin

My problem is the following:

1. We upload photos(*.jpg) unto a live online Java based system at work.
2. Colleagues take photographs with their cell phones with the resultant photos being taken are too large to upload initially.
3. Instead of going over to the tech guys I thought I would venture into Python and design an app myself.
4. The size requirement for said photographs are 500kbs and no more than that.
5. The app needs to resize the photos without changing any details.
