Eight Ways to Quickly Resize Images

Advertisement


Image resizing tools aren't just for people who don't have Photoshop, or the non tech savvy. I often take screen capture snippets for posting to this blog and if they exceed the width of my content area, I need to resize them. And I don't want to open up Photoshop (or another image program) to do it. Call me impatient or lazy or whatever, but that just seems like killing a fly with a hammer.

So, with that in mind, here are 8 ways to quickly resize images ...

My tool of choice:
Windows XP Image Resizing Power Tool

Online Image Resizing Services:
Original Resizr
ResizR
Image Squash
pxn8
blibs
SnipShot

Use Photoshop an easier way:
Create a Photoshop Droplet to handle image resizing
