Free Picture Resize Starter

Free Picture Resize Starter is a simple-to-use program which allows you to perform several operations on your image files, including resizing.
The interface of the tool is plain and simple. Pictures can be imported by using the file browser only, since the "drag and drop" method is not supported. Batch processing is allowed.
So, you can change the size of your pictures, rotate, convert and optimize them, as well as apply several image adjustments (e.g. brighten, contrast, sharpen, soften).
Furthermore, you can zoom in and out, fit image to screen, view picture properties, send picture via email or analyze it, and more.
The simple-to-use program requires a very low amount of system resources (which is barely noticeable), has a good response time, quickly finishes a conversion job and manages to keep a good image quality in the output images. We haven't come across any difficulties during our tests. There's also a well-drawn help file with snapshots that you can check out.
Unfortunately, the features offered by Free Picture Resize Starter are pretty limited. You cannot even configure program settings (e.g. enable the tool to minimize to system tray). Plus, the interface is outdated. We recommend Free Picture Resize Starter with reservations.
