RPictureResize

As its name implies, RPictureResize is an application that allows you to change the size of your images.

This is a portable program, so installing RPictureResize is not required. It means that you can place the tool on an external device (like a USB flash drive) and directly run its executable file on any computer. What's more important is the fact that the Windows registry keys remain unchanged.

The interface of the program is based on a standard window where you can import pictures by using only the folder view because the "drag and drop" functionality is not included. It is possible to create a queue and process multiple items at the same time.

In the file list you can check out the name, source path, size and location of each entry. All you have to do is specify the new size of the pictures (static width and height, thumbnail). Once you establish the output destination and folder name, you can proceed with the resizing procedure.

Plus, you can set RPictureResize to overwrite existing files. You can check out the total number of sizes and files. Once the resizing operation is done, a notification pops up to inform you of the success or failure of the tasks.

The image processing tool takes up a low-to-moderate amount of system resources, has a good response time and quickly finishes a task. The output images have a good quality after resizing. No errors have occurred during our testing and RPictureResize did not freeze or crash.

On the downside, you cannot use the file browser to import individual images into the file list. Plus, you cannot preview pictures or set RPictureResize to minimize to the system tray. There is no help file available and there have not been any recent updates.
