What format? The file size is determined by the width, height, and
compression factor. Uncompressed images of a particular width and height
will always be the same size. With compressed images, like JPEG, you can
tweak the compression quality to adjust the file size, within certain
limits.

So, basically, you should choose your dimensions so that the size is
roughly in the range you want.
