ImgResize

Most social networks and other web services that require constant activity on your behalf ask for a picture so that people can easily identify you. However, some impose size limitations so you don’t experience any issues while uploading or loading. Luckily, you can use specialized applications like ImgResize to bring a bunch of photos to a specific size value.

One of the application’s main advantages is that you don’t even need to install it on your computer for it to properly function. This means it’s portable, giving you the possibility to take advantage of its features even from a USB flash drive, while the target PC’s health status remains intact, since registries don’t need to be modified, or adjusted.

All functions are kept in a pretty compact main window that lets beginners and experience individuals quickly get the hang of things. An input field needs to be filled in with the source path where pictures are located, while additional sliders and value fields let you determine quality and other parameters.

Unfortunately, ImgResize is a little rough around the edges, and might require some heavy analysis if the pictures you want to resize are found in a large variety of different size specifications. In other words, it’s capable of changing the size to a greater value than the original, which in the end affects overall quality.

What’s more, the way in which size is adjusted is by manually writing down width and height limits, with only one of them being met. It would have been useful to use a percentage slider, for a bit more accuracy. On the other hand, you can simply target the disk size, where a different field needs to be filled in with proper values.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that ImgResize comes with good intentions, and wants to help you resize multiple photos in the blink of an eye. However, accuracy is not the main perk here, and you need to analyze initial size first, so you know how and what values to fill in for width and height limits.
