Giveaway of the day — Fast Resize 1.0.2 (Win&Mac)
Fast Resize 1.0.2 (Win&Mac) was available as a giveaway on April 1, 2017!
There are many tools and ways to scale down images. Fast Resize can do all this at least two steps quicker than most other programs.
Simply drag a few images or even an entire folder containing many images onto the program icon and the folder containing the resized images will open automatically.
After that you could easily drag your images onto an email client. Scaling your images with Fast Resizes default settings will easily allow you to send up to 20 of these images in one email with most service providers.
MAC users can download the package here
The person with the best improvement idea for Fast Resize will get a free License for Sort ’n’ Rename software!

Unable to Activate.
Over a period of 6 hours, I've downloaded and installed twice (power-uninstall in between). I've tried 3 different email accounts, entered email to Register with immediate "Product Registered" dialog box stating "Product registration successful. You should have received an E-Mail with a key...". I've waited from 12 minutes to over 1:25 hours for a response.
In all 3 cases when I've eventually received the email from "Picture Instruments [contact@picture-instruments.com]" it has come with "Subject: Fast Resize Tip(p)s" with no hint of an Activation Code. Viewing email in a browser shows nothing different.
If I try resending on a previously used email I get a message "Product registration has been denied. The server send (sic): "You already own Fast Resize. You currently have 1 activation left. We also resent you activation key to your email address." Never received any resent message.
What gives? Where's the Key? [Windows 7 Pro x64]
Otherwise, it sounds like something I might like to try.

I had no trouble installing and activing this Resize program but I cannot figure out how it works. My OS is Windows 10 and maybe there is a special way of moving the photos into FastResize right now no matter what I try, even after watching the tutorial, I can not move the photos I select into the resizing area which is very small on my screen. Can anyone help?

My suggestion to the devs would be to be the 1st, or among the 1st to include Google's Guetzli in their app -- the 1st apps to do so will stand out from the crowd, & I'd imagine it would be a good selling point.
arstechnica[.]com/information-technology/2017/03/google-jpeg-guetzli-encoder-file-size/
""Google has developed and open-sourced a new JPEG algorithm that reduces file size by about 35 percent—or alternatively, image quality can be significantly improved while keeping file size constant. Importantly, and unlike some of its other efforts in image compression (WebP, WebM), Google's new JPEGs are completely compatible with existing browsers, devices, photo editing apps, and the JPEG standard."
If it helps at all...
The jpeg format is similar to mp3, in that it looks for parts in an image that can be deleted without compromising that image *too* much, the same way that mp3 throws out audio data you hopefully won't miss. The jpeg quality level set determines how much is thrown away, & thus how small the file is. Re--encoding a jpeg image [saving an edited jpeg as a jpeg] you lose data twice, which is where the Google code could come in.
Images also have two measurements, pixels & dpi or ppi. A web page normally has images at the standard monitor 96 dpi, same as what you'd probably send/receive via email. When you use a scanner or printer you're often dealing with 300 or 600 dpi. If you were to print a 96 dpi image, either the printer &/or its software will upscale the image, lowering quality, or it will convert it to a higher dpi, keeping the original quality, but shrinking the dimensions of the image.

Don't be so quick to judge this app!
I acquired it via another give away site recently and I can assure you this is a highly refined application that works flawlessly, with lots of attention to detail.
(The kind of quality one comes to expect from most German developers).
BTW; 'TK', it performs BOTH file re-sizing and image dimension changes.
Here is a link to a PDF Help File:
https://picture-instruments.com/products/5_fast_resize/Fast_Resize_Manual.pdf
AND
Here is a link to a tutorial video that walks you through the basics:
https://picture-instruments.com/products/tutorials.php?id=5
Note: My OS is Windows 7 -- the right click utility that Microsoft provided for WIn XP would not work with my current OS, so, I located a clone for that utility that was written for Win 7 users and yes it works pretty good.
HOWEVER, today's offering blows it out of the water.
Note: I have no affiliation with this company. I am just a satisfied user that didn't like seeing the misinformed comments posted today about this offering. I would like to see more quality offerings here, that are of comparable quality. We don't need more converters!
So give this app a chance. THEN come back here and post an informed comment.
Also, re: the asking price... I rarely purchase software, but I would consider paying for this app. I am impressed by quality and attention to detail and responsiveness of software developers. It's a rarity today and when I see it I like to applaud it.

Mister Lee,

Infi, I'm sorry to tell you, the app is no longer available at the site I mentioned. Most giveaways are usually only active from 1-3 days.
Also, since you are apparently without an e-mail provider, perhaps this would be a good time to open a g-mail account. (Probably the best of the free e-mails available).
Also, you could then set a Google Alert for the app you were unable to get today. Once you have your Google account, just go to: https://www.google.com/alerts and type in the name of the app + the word 'giveaway'. Google will notify you when it's crawler service finds another giveaway and they will notify you. -- Actually, if you get right on it, you could get your g-mail account and come back here today before this offer expires. Good luck!

What's the advantage over any other image viewer with batch functionality (e.g. FastStone Image Viewer)?
