Batch Resize & Convert Images While Retaining Metadata With PIXresizer

With all the high-resolution cameras out there these days, most of the images we capture are in resolutions much higher than our display devices. Having a 2560p image to view on a 720p or 1080p screen does not offer any benefit when it comes to the picture quality, and having a lot of such images on your disk can consume significantly high amounts of storage space. Image resizing is also very important if you need to frequently upload images online, because larger images take more time to upload and consume more space on the server. PIXresizer is a nifty application that lets you resize images as well as convert them into other formats, including PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF and TIFF. You can work with single images, or use the batch mode to resize and convert images in bulk with ease. Resized images are saved as copies in a location of choice and can be set to retain EXIF data.

Easily Batch-Resize Images On Your iPhone With Photo Resizer

No one can claim that iOS does not have enough photo editors, but even some of the most feature-rich apps belonging to that genre lack something as basic as resizing options. A few of the apps do let you change the dimensions of a photo, but only a few presets are available, with little thought given to aspect ratio preservation or changing the size to a custom value. These features can easily be found in desktop apps, but having a comprehensive image resizing tool on your iPhone can certainly come handy in many situations. The plainly named Photo Resizer app does what its name says - offering you a way to resize photos stored on your iDevice. You get full control over the image resolution and aspect ratio, and can even select a custom size for the photo. The best thing about the app, though, is its ability to batch-resize entire albums in one go. The original images are preserved unaltered, and resized images are created as new copies. Read More

Resize Images To Multiple Sizes At Once Through Drag & Drop

If you are a blogger or frequently post images on the internet, you must know the importance of resizing an image.

Auto-Resize Images Without Shrinking The Main Subject

How many times has it happened that you found a good image to use as your wallpaper, but when you tried to set it as the desktop background, the resolution did not match that of your computer's screen. The image is still displayed, but sometimes you most favorite part of the image is left out from focus and goes to the side. In such situations, either you have to find a new wallpaper with the resolution that fits your screen, or you can resize it using any image editing tool. You can use the previously covered Easy Image Modified, a tool that lets you perform everyday image related tasks, such as resize, rename, sort, realign, convert etc, or Microsoft’s very own Office Picture Manager that lets you quickly crop or resize images.

Today, we have a tool for you called Image Resize Guide Lite that mixes the concept of resizing and cropping, and using its Smart Resize technology, changes the size of the image by both squeezing the pixels and cropping out the empty parts of the image. Keep reading to find out more about Image Resize Guide Lite. Read More
