Release Notes

Here is yet another iteration toward what will eventually become Image Resizer 3. This release is stable. However, I'm calling it a preview since there are still many features I'd still like to add before calling it complete.

Updated on February 28, 2012 to fix an issue with installing on multi-user machines.
Updated on April 3, 2012 to address accusations of me soliciting a virus. (Rebuilt on a clean machine against the latest version of WiX.)
Updated on February 23, 2013 to fix Crash in context menu handler and release the French and German translations.

As usual, here is my progress report.

Didn't know there was a version 3 until today. I have been using Version 2 and really love it so am looking forward to the newer design and a more possibilities with Vs 3. In Vs2 i resized 700 images that I shot in Africa and it took no more than 5 to 6 minutes at most. Now I wish I had actually timed it so I could share an exact time with everyone. I'm totally amazed at the quality.

This is an EXCELLENT product! I use it on a Samsung series 9 SSD running Win7 64 bit. Product performs flawlessly. I can resize a batch of 50 photos at a time (perhaps more, haven't tried). Resizing 50 photos is amazingly fast : about 8 seconds. Photo sizes 3000 to 7000 Ko are resized to about 250 Ko ("large" setting). No loss of quality event at high magnification. It's awsome. And really simple

But some sorts of JPG's it doesn't shrink when keeping the same aspect ratio - it even makes the files bigger! Vers2.1 always shrinks. I've installed BOTH versions anyway for testing purpose - it's working. ;-) It calls home automatically. ;-)

There is no thumbnail displayed, no image address, no current dimensions. If you custom resize the image without including one of its dimensions the applet is not capable to calculate a proportional value, it just make it 1 px. What is worse is that I wish to uninstall this applet but I can't find a way to do it. Even Revo Unistaller doesn't know where it is located. It seems to be Alpha.

Definitely my go to for image resizing you should try to emulate some more power tools for other versions of windows. Good Job

Very good. I hope development continues. I find this very easy to use

Does just what I need. I was previously using Microsoft Office Picture Manager which does a nice job, but it was a pain to install on systems that didn't have it, and a double-pain to open for just 1 photo. With the shell integration, this is nifty, convenient, and quick enough for me that I don't care about a couple seconds delay in startup and resizing. Good options in latest release, too.

It's not a virus you hypochondriacs. Anti-virus programs sometimes find false positives, especially with tweaks that change system files. This app is a necessity, I use it all the time. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the updates. Works with Windows 8 beta.

I have long searched for a replacement for the Windows XP Image Resizer program that worked as this one does. Many other programs will resize images, but none of them are as simple to use as the old Image Resizer and this one. The others do a bunch of things I have no need for. This does what I want, quickly and easily: resize images. Thanks

good job keep up the good work

All you Trend micro people seem to be getting false positives. I have used IR for about 2 years - never any virus problem. If it is slow on your machine, it is likely a function of your system, not the program - on my Win 8/64 it is instantaneous.

Excellent work!!, simple and effective. Excelente trabajo, simple y efectivo
by gcaino on Nov 16, 2012 at 1:44 PM
     
Great idea BUT it's very SLOW to open once you have right clicked and picked resize. Otherwise perfect for me use it several times a day.

worked well for me. win7 64bit. Nortons had no problems with it. Thanks very much...

Does what it says on the tin. Such a big omission from the OS...
by steven_pack on Nov 11, 2012 at 10:32 PM
     
Really very useful, would love to give it 5* but.. JPEG compression is great, quality factor about 90 but more efficient compression than most other apps, making smaller files for same quality - nice! PNG & BMP not handled so well - highly compressed PNGs still only get medium compression when re-sized, 24bit BMPs are increased to 32bit - files grow (even if pixel counts are same or similar)...

Hi ! Nice program, very useful for our girls and guys... unfortunately we're speaking french in a part of Switzerland. Is there a way to do it ? If you need help for translation it's ok for me, I'll do it :) Thanks Thierry

I have been using this program for a couple of year and every time I need I am totally thrilled with the productivity that it provides me with. I have never had any problems with it and for anyone who need to resize images e.g for loading up onto websites it is right on the mark, especially because it can do a whole collection at one time. Thanks guys.

every time my girfriend needed to resize here profile picture, she tried in ms-paint and always ended up with asistance, untill i found image resizer for windows... Thank you for this and the other versions even i use it and it makes it easy

Way too slow to start. If you want a better one, try Free Image Resizer: http://www.iwesoft.com/product/34/image-resizer
by freeimageresizer on Jun 30, 2012 at 2:36 AM
     
started using 2 years ago.. like new options cant wait till finished. never had a problem on XP, or 7ulitmate, now on 7pro with a I7 quad processor, fast.. start up slower than expected but with code going crazy now, understandable no issues with resizing. EVER.. as for virus people need to get real virus scanning programs that work, i tend to resize 100-500 pics at a time
by snakecan2 on Jun 18, 2012 at 4:15 AM
     
Not a virus at all, it's a false positive. It's just extremely slow, it takes 10-15 seconds to load on my computer with 8GB of DDR3 RAM and an SSD. Other than that it's a nice program.
by darkNiGHTS on Jun 7, 2012 at 8:21 PM
     
I've said it before, probably at preview 1 or 2, the new version is just so slow. Still true. It takes several seconds to load, and then several seconds more to do the resizing. Version 2 remains much much more nimble and lacks nothing. Since no-one else whines about it (and I really do hate to complain about excellent free things, lol) I guess it's just me, but three windows installs all the same

Just what I was looking for since the MS Power Toys are listed on Microsoft's site as not compatible with Win 7 32 and 64 bit. No virus detected here either. Thanks for this! :)
by kelzipan on May 24, 2012 at 7:13 PM
     
A million thanks for this! I have greatly missed using this tool and have used others that simply do not come close to being as easy as this tool. Thanks for bringing it back to newer platforms! Also, zero virus warnings here. Those people are getting their EXEs attack by already being infected.
by JEmlay on May 21, 2012 at 6:01 PM
     
May 14, 2012- No virus/threats detected from software when I installed. Only said that they didn't recognize the publisher of the software. Great tool and easy to use. I like it when I'm in a hurry and don't want to use my PhotoShop/PSP resizer tool. Thanx for the freebie.

I've been using this utility for several years now, and it's a little gem. Thank you so much for it! Nice work!

Works perfectly. Even working fine with Win8 CP

VIRUS! the sha-1 ist wrong. please change the download. thanks
by sam600 on Mar 28, 2012 at 11:45 AM
     
I havent installed the application, becouse trend micro has identify this as a treat "TROJ_FAKEAV.BMC" . http://about-threats.trendmicro.com/ArchiveMalware.aspx?language=us&name=TROJ_FAKEAV.BMC Can you correct this ?
by yozmag on Mar 26, 2012 at 10:46 AM
     
Excellent app... thanks for keeping this tool alive! One thing I'd like to see is a simple compression/quality option - Low, Medium, High would suffice.. high needs to be much better than it is now.
by robax on Mar 16, 2012 at 3:28 AM
     
Love this little app! I've used it since way back when it was part of the WinXP PowerToys, oh so long ago. This new version is great! Would like to be able to resize an entire Folder rather than just what's inside. But hey! I'm sure that'll come soon. Thanks for all your work on this resizer. It IS the ONLY one I use and when I switched from XP to Win 7 I was so lost, till now. THANKS!

Does what it says on the tin. Have missed this little app since I've moved from XP. Now it's back!! One of my most used apps.

This program solved a lot of questions on how to post a 4mb photo to my forum. I now have a peminant link to this page on the forum. I hope (Save resized image to new folder) will be in the Advanced Settings. Keep up the good work.
by ax3 on Mar 6, 2012 at 8:12 AM
     
Awesome tool! However, other products similar to this also allow you to right click on the Folder that the images are in, so that you can easily resize all the picture in that folder. Can you incorporate this feature as well? Thx again for a great tool!
by mherzog on Feb 29, 2012 at 4:07 PM
     
Awesome, can you be so kind and let me know why do I keep getting alert (A New version of Image Resizer is Available) I download this morning Feb 29 Image Resizer 3 preview 3 File version reads 3.0.4442.6002, But I still get update is avail.
