Macs have a built in command line tool, sips, that can work on individual files or a batch of files.
Resize all jpg files to less than 1200 pixels on the largest side, keeping aspect ratio:
sips -Z 1200 *.jpg
Resize all jpg images to 500 x 500 pixels
sips -z 500 500 *.jpg

You can also install homebrew, from https://brew.sh/ and install imagemagick, also command line.

The built-in Preview.app can also be used to resize the document.  In the menu --> Tools --> Adjust Size
