Imazer

The better the quality of a picture, the more space it takes up on your hard drive. However, it’s not always a good idea to use a picture at its highest settings, especially when all you view is a small representation of it, such as the case of profile pictures and thumbnails. As such, Imazer wants to help you resize images to use them in the best manner possible.

One thing which needs to be noted is that the application completely relies on .NET Framework 1.1 to function, as well as to be able to go through the setup process. When launched, a desktop object shows up, and initiating the process is simply done by dropping a picture over it. However, it’s a good idea to first open up the main window to set up general parameters.

The main window generally shows up in a minimized version. In other words, the advanced set of options stays hidden, but you can expand it at the press of a button. You initially have access to the source and destination, source which can either be a single file, or the content of an entire folder, which means batch processing is supported.

The core function of the application is to help you resize, and even convert pictures. File support is decent, and you get to work with items under formats like BMP, JPG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG. Resizing options can be done by percentage, automatically, or manually specifying width and height of output files.

There are more options besides resizing. As such, you can choose to convert either to high quality, or sacrifice it in favor of processing speed. Moreover, the application is capable of renaming pictures according to several parameters, such as prefix and suffix.

Bottom line is that the best quality isn’t always suitable for the task. Imazer offers the right set of tools to convert one or more images according to demands, with options to change not only the size, but also the quality and the name.
