Easy Image Resizer

Modern cameras, even those on mobile phones can now take pictures at incredibly high quality. However, you might not need all those megapixels, with some scenarios limiting you to specific size values. In this regard, Easy Image Resizer comes with the right means to resize any picture with a few mouse clicks.

Can be used on the go

On the bright side of things, the application skips you the time, and effort needed to go through a setup process. This allows you to store, and use it directly from a thumb drive, even on other computers. What’s more, portability means that system registries remain intact, thus not affecting the stability of the target PC.
A blank window frame shows up on launch, with no buttons, or indicators other than the default file menu options. It all starts to work once you load a picture, but you need to rely on the built-in browse dialog, because drag and drop is not supported.

Poor file support, and rough edit method

Unfortunately, the application only allows you to process one picture at a time. More than that, file support limits you even further, because you can only work with pictures under the BMP format, which is also the only format you can save the new pictures to.
You might end up scratching your head right after a picture loads, because no buttons, or any controls whatsoever, nor any extra options in the file menu. This is because adjusting the picture is done by dragging its edges around, just like you normally do to resize a regular window.
As such, accuracy is extremely poor, with no possibility to slowly drag to a fixed location. The only guidance you get is the status bar, which shows width, and height as you pull the picture edges, but they can’t be manually modified.

A few last words

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Easy Image Resizer feels like an unfinished product, with a rough, inaccurate, method of resizing a picture. Lack of batch processing, and poor file support heavily affect practicality, while end quality is also at risk.
