Free Batch Image Resizing Software

Recently for a website, I had to re-size a large number of photos as the pixel resolution of the images was too high for the PHP software to create a thumbnail over the server, but in reality they were far to big for the web taking over my 20″ 1680×1050 screen no doubt swapping smaller resolution screens!

Fortunately I stumbled across some really useful software on the internet. The software is called Picture Resizer 3.0 (or PhotoReize, it doesn’t seem to know what to call itself!) this software on its own seems pretty limiting only resizing photos to a width of 400 pixels with the height kept to the correct ratio for the new pixel resolution.

An addon I also found to this called PhotoResize Options Express allowed for me to chose the new width resolution more efficiently.  This ad-don is simply added into the Photo Resize folder and it starts working just after you rename the original PhotoResize executable.

I was amazed at how fast this program work, I had over 100 photos to do and it literally did them all within a couple seconds, this would have taken me over 30 minutes at least to do in PaintShop Pro!

Overall a great set of free software, and another bonus of not having to install a program onto my computer that will clog everything up as they are both standalone (or standalone dependent in the case of the later)
