Resizing photos/images

Ok, since we've had some rather large images posted here in the last few days that have seriously affected page loading times I thought it might be a good idea to make a thread with some links to FREE, yep, thats right FREE software for resizing those pics.

Aww man, don't forget Irfanview @ www.irfanview.com

There isn't ANYTHING that thing can't read, plus it can do batch resize (Really handly)

[fillip]

Didn't post that since their site is down - not much use right now and since it doesn't say why it's unavailable either...

Well, not in English at least.

Good idea, nice one fillip. ^_^

May have to incorporate this into posting guidelines when I get round to doing that properly. -_-

if they made a version that you could state file size and dimenisons, that would be awesome.

Yeah, thats what makes it so simple in my eyes too. And it does have the ability to define custom dimensions if not a custom file size... http://wizdforums.co.uk/images/smilies/unsure.gif

well a good free image editor (that some people disslike) is gimp this also includes the ability to resize images its also avalable on any os (windows mac linux beos etc.)

[fillip]

Have now added Irfanview to the list since their site is back up again http://wizdforums.co.uk/images/smilies/happy.gif

I have a program I use called PhotoResize.exe. It's simple as hell and quick too. All you do is drag and drop your photo's over the .exe. Thats it! You can drop like 20 at a time and you specify the image size by renaming the .exe with the size. So if you want 640x480 images,... name it, "PhotoResize640.exe". Copy/ Paste so you have two .exe's, one for your large images and one for your thumbnails:) Example: "PhotoResize640.exe" and "PhotoResize160.exe". I uploaded it to my server for anyone who wants it. The .exe is small as hell in file size so it takes seconds to download.

Download it here:

Irfanview is also a good option to view images.
