FatFree Photo Resizer

Although disk space is less of a concern, this doesn't mean a storage device can't quickly fill up. In order to prevent this, some online services limit the maximum transfer size, or even pictures you try to upload. For the latter category, FatFree Photo Resizer comes as a nifty tool to quickly bring photos to the desired size specifications.

Once setup is done, you can take the application for a spin, and opt to have it brought up as soon as the installer closes. A pretty compact window shows up, letting you know that one input method is to simply drop a selection of photos over the target area to get started. Note, however, that the conversion process automatically starts when pictures are added, and it's a good idea to visit the settings panel first.

The settings panel offers several options related to quality output, maximum dimension representing width, action to take when encountering a duplicate file, as well as some general behavior options like showing a notification when conversion is done, or to have the destination folder brought up.

In terms of file support, the application allows you to process formats like JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, and PNG. Unfortunately, you can't pick a single format for output, so the resized images come under the same type. Adjusting quality of output images only works for those under the JPG format.

As mentioned, the process starts just as you add pictures, with a progress panel showing up in the meantime. By default, output files are delivered in the source folder under different names, but you can choose to have original files overwritten, or saved to a new directory in the source folder for easy identification.

To sum it up, FatFree Photo Resizer is a fast method of resizing a bunch of pictures to then be able to use them where needed. Multiple photos of different formats can be processed at a time, and even though there are only a few features, these are enough to keep the process simple and efficient.
