Bigjpg

When working on a project involving graphic files, you might occasionally need to downsize or enlarge them. While the first operation can be performed successfully using any image editor, the second one requires a specialized app, to ensure high-quality results.

Bigjpg is one of the solutions you can turn to in this situation.

The main window of Bigjpg is highly intuitive, so even those with very little computer skills can still make the most of it.

Basically an image needs to be loaded, then you need to choose the magnification degree, and finally start the operation and save the result.

Despite its name, Bigjpg offers you the possibility to select several graphic formats, such as JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF and ICO.

You can either navigate manually to the location of your files, or you can drag and drop them onto the main window. No matter which method you choose, you can select more than one item to be processed at the same time.

As soon as you are satisfied with the image list, you can move on to the second step, that of selecting how much you want to enlarge them.

You can set a separate degree for each file, or you can magnify them all in one go. You also need to specify if your source files are photos or artworks, as different algorithms are used for each type.

The noise reduction levels can be adjusted too, ranging from None, Low, Medium, High to Highest.

To summarize, Bigjpg can become the go-to solution for those looking for a bare-bones solution for upscaling their pics. Only a handful of customization options are provided, yet they should prove sufficient for the occasional user.
