Hi, I know how Powertoys worked in Windows xp and 7 but I can't make it work in Windows 8. I have installed it but there is no RESIZE option in context menu when clicking on a picture file. Any idea ? Thanks.

The Resizer's "Ignore Image Rotation" does not seem to function regardless of the setting. Files either with or without this switch seem to still retain camera rotation in Windows Explorer.

Yea!!!! I found what I was looking for! Sorta, that is...When my laptop died, and with it my XP professional, and the Tinypic Power toy re-sizer, and then the new laptop with Windows 7 on it, and no more re-sizer......until I found the Image re-sizer clone....YES!, a big success! Thank you, for doing the clone. It works just like the old version I used to have. It worked well with multiple photo images, and was very easy to use after the easy installation.....

About

Image Resizer for Windows is a utility that lets you resize one or more selected image files directly from Windows Explorer by right-clicking. I created it so that modern Windows users could regain the joy they left behind with Microsoft's Image Resizer Powertoy for Windows XP.

Users Guide: Resizing pictures

Assuming you've got your files selected, let's see how to get them resized.

In their original folder

To resize your picutes and have the new ones put in the same folder as the original, right-click on any of the selected files and choose Resize pictures.

After doing so, the following dialog box will appear.

Pick one of the default sizes, or enter your own by selecting custom and entering the the width and height values you would like your resized pictures to have.

If Only shrink pictures is selected, any of your pictures that are smaller than the selected size will not be resized.

You can also choose to Replace the originals, in which case the resized pictures will be saved over the originals. Don't fret though, 'cause the originals actually just got put in the Recycle Bin so .

To a different folder

To resize your pictures and have the new ones put in a specific folder, right-click and hold on them and drag them into the destination folder. Choose Resize pictures here on the menu that comes up when you let go of the right mouse button.

Guides

A series of guides have been created to help you become more aquainted with Image Resizer. These guides cover a diverse range of topics and have been divided by role to keep the information as relevant to you as possible.

User's Guide -- Covers the installation and use of Image Resizer
Translator's Guide -- Covers the process of translating Image Resizer into your native language
Developer's Guide -- Covers building Image Resizer from source and provides an overview of its components

Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes I get asked questions that aren't speciffically related to using the software. I'll try to provide answers to those questions below.

How can I donate to the Image Resizer project?

Call me crazy, but I don't accept donations. My employer pays me enough to code. Everything I do outside of work, I donate to the community for free. The biggest contribution you can make is to spread the word: Tweet, Like, blog about, or do whatever you do to let your friends know just how handy this little utility can be!

What formats does Image Resizer support?

By default, image files with the following extentions can be resized: bmp, dib, gif, ico, jpe, jpeg, jpg, png, tif, tiff, wdp. However, Image Resizer will also be able to use any Windows Imaging Codecs (WIC) that have been installed. For example, after installing the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack, vendor-specific formats from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Pentax, Leica, Minolta, Epson, and Panasonic can also be resized.

Does Image Resizer use nearest-neighbor, bilinear, or bicubic interpolation?

Starting with version 3, Image Resizer actually uses a Fant resampling algorithm, which produces a higher quality output than all of these. For more information on the algorithm, see A Nonaliasing, Real-Time Spatial Transform Technique.

Resizing pictures
Naming resized pictures
Changing default sizes
Tuning resized images

User's Guide: Selecting files

There are many, many ways to select files inside of Windows Explorer. Here are a few ways that will be useful in terms of resizing pictures.

Mouse only

To select a single file, simply click it (rocket science)
To select multiple files, drag to create a selection around them
To select all files in a window, click Organize on the toolbar, then click Select all

Mouse and Keyboard

To select multiple consecutive files, click the first one, hold down Shift, then click the last one
To cherry-pick multiple files, hold down Ctrl and click each of them

Keyboard only

There are many bizarre things you can do just using the keyboard, but I'll let the advanced users discover them for themselves, but here some that everyone might find useful.

To select all files in a window, press Ctrl+A
To invert your selection, press Alt+E, I

Search power!

Another powerful tool that you can use to select files is the search box. For example, if you only want to select the pictures that you took today, type Date taken: Today in the search box then select all the files. For more tips on searching, see Advanced tips for searching in Windows

Now that you know how to select files, it's time to start resizing.

About

This is a clone of the Image Resizer Powertoy for Windows XP -- a PowerToy that allows you to right-click on one or more image files in Windows Explorer to resize them. It was created (by me) to extend support to non-XP and 64-bit versions of Windows (including 2000, Vista & 7).
