Check the imresize function in Matlab

Using imwrite to create a PNG image does the compression for you. Why do you think you need to do anything additional?

What GIF image? Images only have a format once they're saved onto disk. Once they're in MATLAB, they're simply an array of numbers. If you use imread() it uncompressed them. They're no longer compressed - it's the full, original array again. The only way to get the compressed data out is if you use fread() but if you did that it's not in a displayable form.
