Picture Resizer

Picture Resizer is a freeware tool developed to batch resize JPG images.

As compared to all the other similar apps, Picture Resizer provides quite an innovative way to resize image files, with two different methods at your disposal.

First of all, you can simply drag the images you want to resize on the application icon on your desktop or wherever you copied the executable file.

Secondly, Picture Resizer offers a context menu option to do this on the go, but this needs to be manually configured from the main window of the app.

There are no configuration options, so in order to define the size of the processed file, you need to rename the executable file according to the output size. For example, the standard executable file is called PhotoResize.exe, so if you wish to resize large photos to 600 pixels for instance, you have to rename this file to PhotoResize600.exe.

Picture Resizer doesn't ask for an output folder, but instead it places all resized items in the same directory as the source files, of course with the selected dimensions used in the filename.

The resizing engine is surprisingly fast and it doesn't hamper system performance in any way, regardless of the Windows version running on your workstation.

All things considered, Picture Resizer is quite an innovative app that provides a very fast way to batch resize hundreds of files. If there's something to be improved, that's the help section because the amount of information provided to the user is actually quite limited.
