How to Resize Digital Photo

Could someone please help - I need to resize a digital photo so that it is exactly 600x600 pixels. This is so that it can be uploaded onto the US Green Card Lottery website. I have only very basic knowledge of my camera (Canon) and am not sure if there is any free software to help or whether it requires more advanced software such as Adobe Photoshop. Maybe there is a web based servcie that could do this?
Any help would be most welcome.

    As your camera does not take square pictures, you will need to crop the image as well as resize it to 600 x 600 pixels. This can easily be done with a program such as Irfanview here no need to use Adobe Photoshop! Click on Help for instructions.
