Image Resizer for Vista

I was looking for a solution for this today. I take a lot of photos in full 12.1 Resolution and I often like to upload them or email them on the internet.

I know that most sites I upload too offer auto converting, like multiply.com, facebook.com, friendster.com, flickr.com etc.. It does take time if you have the site convert it for you.

When I was still on Windows XP Pro, there was a free software by windows Powertoys called image resizer. Downloadable here

It was so easy to use. After installing, you then get an option on your right-click menu to resize pictures. So when you right click on a single photo or a group of highlighted photos on your PC, you can resize them all with a just a 2 clicks. It then resizes them and saves them to a different file name on the same directory so it doesn't overwrite your original images. There are also a couple of options in the settings which allows you to save in different directories, change the default size of the pic you want to resize too and even if you want overwrite the original pic.

I miss this. I miss image resizer. and it is not available on VISTA. Such a simple and useful program somehow got erased on microsofts priority list. I am sure many photo enthusiasts are disappointed by this. Try googling "Vista Image Resizer" and you will see.

Well today I found a solution:
VSO image resizer for vista and what's best is, it is FREE!!

It basically gives you the same comfort as image resizer by windows powertoys.

To explain further, it provides a you tube video link on its site:


Hope this helps!! :-D
