![]() (Download it here.) It’s extremely easy to use, just drag-and-drop the pictures you want to resize over the window, and it will resize them all, whether there’s 1 picture, or 500 of them! You can select the resolution you want from the drop-down list of options, it has many of the common ones already there. I personally make use of a little program called ‘ Fast Image Resizer‘ all the time. The thing to remember is… never send a picture that is bigger than would fit on someone’s screen, it’s just a waste of bandwidth! So if you’re sending Grandma some pictures of your grandchildren, resize them to somewhere between 800-1200 pixels on the long edge, and she will be able to see them just as well, while she’ll only have to wait for 20 seconds, instead of 3 minutes for them to download! ![]() Very few people need more than that, and most people don’t ever even need to see the picture fullscreen. For most websites, that’s a maximum of about 1200 pixels. Obviously, that’s a whole lot less than 12 MP! When you send an e-mail with a picture in it to someone, the picture might be about 800 pixels wide, that would take up a little more than half of my computer screen. Now, your computer screen likely has a screen resolution of 1024×768, or in my case, 1440×900. If you have a 12 megapixel camera, it takes pictures that measure about 4000px by 3000px, that makes 12,000,000 pixels (or 12 MP ). Resizing very literally changes the size of the picture. ![]() First, we’d better be sure that we know the difference between resizing, and compressing. Now I want to show what tools I use as a photographer and web designer for resizing and compressing images, so that you don’t have to wait 3 minutes to view that 24 megapixel, 12.3 MB photo that I sent you a link to. ![]() I have previously written about some photography related software, Exif viewers, and Photo viewers. ![]()
