Clone of Microsoft's exellent "Image Resizer" for Vista and 7

Arpe · 06-07-2010, 06:37 PM

I found a clone of Microsoft's Powertoy Image resizer, which I often use to resize pics for posting here or emails etc. MS haven't reproduced this for Vista or 7, but I have this site that has-
Image Resizer Powertoy Clone for Windows

Their definitions of small, medium and large differ, but you can always use the custom size. Just select the photos in Explorer, right-click, Resize images. Presto, it makes copies in the same folder.

I do not have Vista or 7 so haven't tried this one yet, just stumbled across it and thought people here may want it.

I'm going to give it a try later. Thanks for the heads-up.

Thanks for the heads up on this. It's a joy and fast to use. Maybe not if you wanted to resize 200 images but great for sharing a few at a time. Great find.

Edit opps I just realized you can batch resize as well. Even better.

thanks for heads up, although i prefer irfanview for quick resizes - denoise 4 also works with it

Yeah but this one is just select in Windows Explorer and right-click, resize. No separate programme to open. They all have their place.

Here's another similar one with a few more options, again, I haven't tried it.
