Resize Image

Resize Image is a simple and straightforward application that gives you the possibility to seamlessly change the size of images from the right-click menu. It offers support for several file types, including BMP, JPG, TIFF, GIF and PNG.
The tool comes packed with a handful of options which are intuitive enough to be tackled even by users with little or no previous experience in graphic processing tools.

Simple installer with context menu integration

The setup procedure is a fast and easy job that shouldn't give you any trouble, thanks to the familiar wizard steps. The only notable aspect is that it requires you to install .NET Framework, unless you already have it, since it was built with the aid of this platform.
After installation, the utility gets automatically added to the context menu in your file explorer. Therefore, you can open the right-click menu of any selected image to bring up a small configuration panel with three preset sizes: small (for a 640x480px screen), medium (for a 800x600px screen) and large (for a 1024x768px screen).

Set the new image size

All you have to do is choose the preferred new dimension and click a button to apply the modification. This means that Resize Image processes the original files, so you may be interested in creating photo backups before using this application. Moreover, batch processing is supported, so you can resize multiple selected images at the same time and to the same size with minimum effort.

Evaluation and conclusion

It ran well in our testing, without triggering the operating system to freeze, crash or prompt error messages. It left small footprint on system resources, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM.
Although it doesn't have richer options and configuration settings, such as custom sizes, Resize Image offers a speedy solution for resizing multiple photos in bulk to one of the three preset dimensions.
