Problem to picture file
As Paint measures it, that is 1152x648. How do you want it converted? Do you want the excess pixels chopped off (not likely)? Compressed to fit in both directions (not likely as it would look "skinny")? Or would you prefer it scaled the same in both directions so that you still have white space at the top or bottom (most likely)?
Load it in any decent picture program (MS Paint will do) and you can resize it. You'll likely want to crop it first to eliminate excessive white on the sides.

if you are using Windows, use an app such as Irfanview (free) to crop the image to 300 x 300: http://www.irfanview.com/
What is IrfanView?
IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 , 2008, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10.

If you want a better resolution you need to make that selection box smaller or get a better image to start with

This looks like a company logo.
Well, for a company logo, people make artwork, which are vector files and not a raster as you presented so far.
That’s why you have ugly results and dirty pixels, because you use a raster file.
A vector file is different, you may zoom in as much as you want and you keep the nice resolution, appearance. You can use it online 512x512 pixels or pint it 2cmx2cm or you can make it 2mx2m and you still have it with nice, clear and well defined lines because it redraws and fits itself without any unclear pixelate image. No matter if it is small or very big, you will have a nice clear image.
My suggestion is to not only cut/adjust your raster image to 512x512 pixels, but remake it in a vector file image, an artwork.
The standard program for such work is Adobe Illustrator, which requires some skills and is not free, except the trial version, if they still offer it. But there are free alternative programs and among them the most known is Inkscape: https://inkscape.org/en/
And by the way, why do you need the steps of the basic adjust the image to 512x512, when the guys already did it for you?
You may just download the results above done the others.

It would be helpful if you answered what was asked above:
How do you want it converted? Do you want the excess pixels chopped off (not likely)? Compressed to fit in both directions (not likely as it would look "skinny")? Or would you prefer it scaled the same in both directions so that you still have white space at the top or bottom (most likely)?
Also.... let us know how far you've gotten with the suggestions and specifically what is keeping you from moving forward.

Hi HuaMinChen,
Sorry I missed your question...was away from my computer for an hour or so. But I see that Paul answered your question...and I'll put a +1 on his suggestion! VLC is a great (free!) media player that is my go-to product for viewing videos. In fact, I have the VLC Web Plugin installed in Firefox and all I have to do is click a video link (like the one I posted for you) and it will play the video in a new tab in Firefox. My thanks to Paul for jumping in! I hope my video was easy for you to follow. Regards, Joe

Use a program to drop that image into the new image as a layer on top
