Is There A Program Out There...

That can do batch image resizing, preferably a freebie?

Paint Shop Pro 8 does batch resizing. I doubt that it is free, but you might find a timed trial version on their site.

www.jasc.com


<edit> yup, the site has a 30 day timed version

Thanks TC, I'll have a look into that one!!

Looks like Irfanview can do it. Under Batch conversion/rename Advanced options.

[lufbra]

Oh, thanks Mawil, I knew Irfanview had a rename feature, just not a resize feature, will have a play around tomorrow!!

[mawil]

Let me know if it works. I haven't tried it out yet.

[lufbra]

Awwwww thanks, let me be the guinea pig, eh!!!

[mawil]

Yep. To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

I use IrfanView all the time to resize images. Just press "B" and click the "Use advanced options" box, then you can "Set advanced options" to resize, crop, etc.

What I use when I have a bunch of graphics to resize or change resolution is graphic workshop

All you have to do is to select the thumbnails you want changes and crop or whatever.

I would just like to add that IrfanView's batch resizing works great for me.

[lufbra]

Cool, if I want to do a whole folder of pictures, do the programs let you do the resize into another folder, so the original sizes are kept safe?

[BlackKnight]

You can save the output from IrfanView to another folder, I do that as well!

graphic workshop will, in fact it will automatically change the name of the picture so that it will not get lost in the batch.
