Although you can drag an image to the required size on pbworks, if you upload images which are too big, then the page becomes too "heavy", especially when many people are adding images to the same page

that's why the required ize for upload to your profile is 150 x 150 pixels max.

Always look at the size of your image. One straight off most cameras can easily be something like this:

That's 2448 pixels wide, whereas a computer screen often only has something like 1024 pixels by 768 pixels - that means that a picture 1024px wide will  already fill the screen of your computer. (all that extra information is needed when you want to print a picture on paper)

Also here 2,49 Mo (mega octets) is a lot of space (my computer is French - that's 2.49MB in English (megabytes)

So it's always a good idea to resize images when putting them on any web page.

There are lots of ways of resizing images, many of them quicker than the one shown here, so ask around for help!, but here's a free website which I have used a lot, and which makes it easy to select just part of an image and produce it at the size you wish.

Webresizer.com

Make sure you give your image a clear title - remember, a lot of people are uploading images to this wiki ;-)
