JpegSizer is an inexpensive image-resizing utility for shrinking images into compact JPEG files ready for e-mail attachments, Web pages, photo-sharing Web sites, and Office documents.

You can resize single files or large batches, and the ability to drag and drop from thumbnail views is supported. It reduces pixel dimensions, and automatically figures the JPEG compression needed to achieve the file size you want.

JpegSizer stores settings for different projects, so you don't have to remember all the details of what you did last time. Pre-defined settings are included for many common projects.

You have many different ways to choose images for resizing, using JpegSizer itself, Windows, a thumbnail viewer or graphics editor. JPEG compression can be automatically adjusted to yield the file size you need. No more trial-and-error to get the right size!

Image quality is excellent, thanks to the choice of resizing and sharpening methods. During resizing you can add borders, captions and watermarks to images

After resizing you can check the results on screen, and use the built-in emailer and web gallery builder. For automated resizing, JpegSizer can be controlled from other applications. Or you can use the "watch folder". A DLL is also available for programmers.

The Quick Start Guide has you resizing images in about a minute. The Help system has step-by-step procedures and tips on many topics.

JpegSizer can also sharpen pictures after resizing and maintain settings for different projects. The built-in e-mailer makes it easy to send resized images to others. JpegSizer is praised for its ease of use, efficiency, and versatility.
