Downloaded and installed with no troubles. That's great!

Tested the app with several singles first, reducing some 8192 x 8192 JSPlacement Texture images to 4096 x 4096, then I did a quick batch image reduction of three JSPlacement Dot Grid images 8192 x 8192 to 4096 x 4096. All tests came out excellent.

One thing that bothers me about the program is the Pop up asking if I would like MSTech Image Resize to make changes to my hard drive every time I want to open it. Seems that once the program has been installed, that annoying pop up should not appear each time I open the program. I suggest working on that for your next build.

At any rate, I deem this a keeper!
Thanks MS Tech, and GAOTD!

If I understand the program's feature(s) correctly, it doesn't do anything more than the freeware "FastStone Image Viewer" also can do - batch image processing.

Two MSTech gifts this week - both insisting I enter either Mr. or Mrs. I am neither.

Please eliminate that field or make it optional - it's a jarring note on otherwise smooth installation and registration.

Thanks,

Your program has the localization of multiple languages how to switch the interface language, for example, Russian?

A couple of suggestions to the developers regarding new features, you might consider the capability to add EXIF data to a batch of pictures, e.g. "Sarah's Birthday Party 2019", & it would be handy to be able to set the photo dpi.

L. Cleveland Major asked: >"Does this software reduce or increase the file (hard drive storage) size?"

A digital image [photo] has 2 metrics -- the image size and its dpi. It's somewhat confusing. The dpi is kind of how densely the pixels [dots] are packed together, e.g. 300 dpi is pretty much standard for printing. Opening a photo in PSP, its dimensions in inches is ~47" square at 72 dpi [screen or monitor resolution is 72 or 96 dpi], but that drops to ~11" square at 300 dpi for printing.

So you decrease the size a photo's displayed at, & the size of that printed photo by increasing its dpi, but the amount of data, the number of pixels in the photo does not change, so the file size remains the same. You can of course take away data [pixels], and that makes everything smaller, the displayed & printed sizes as well as the file size. But, just like enlarging a photo digitally, reducing one relies on some guessing on software's part, and some quality will be lost. Software that doesn't let you set the dpi, e.g. MSTech Image Resize, normally just works at 72 or 96 dpi, so reducing a photo's displayed size reduces the amount of data [pixels].

So. you don't want to send a relative a photo that you've resized permanently, by removing pixels, if they might want to print a copy, though it is perhaps good etiquette to shrink that photo if it's only ever going to be seen on their cell phone. That said, the photos you see online or in emails are very often much larger than they appear -- it's not common practice any longer to shrink photos to the exact dimensions that you want them seen on-screen. You can usually send a photo as-is without worrying that when it's viewed it'll take up the entire display, or possibly extend far beyond the display's borders -- it's more than likely any software used to view that photo will automatically size it for display purposes automatically.

As for shrinking the file size itself, most often that's what the jpeg format's for. A Photoshop file that's ~350MB = ~10MB as a jpg at 100% quality, but can shrink to less than 2MB as the quality setting is decreased. Jpeg is a lossly format -- you lose data, same as with mp3 audio files. Also like mp3 audio files, the higher the quality, the less data that's abandoned. The quality setting you use is a compromise between how small you want/need the file to be, v.s. the amount of quality you want to preserve.

FWIW...
L. Cleveland Major also asked: >"Does this software reduce or increase the pixel size?"

There actually is no such thing as a pixel size -- it's simply defined as the smallest thing or shape or dot that a display can show. While most people just go by the screen resolution of a display as a relative measure of its quality, the pixel density reflects how small those dots are -- the pixels on a 1080p display that's 50" across are MUCH larger than the pixels on a cell phone screen that's also 1080p.

Installation no problem but I was hoping it would have the option for right click customisation so I can reduce photos from Windows Explorer - 'resize with ....'. Without this option it's not something I would keep.

Testing it out for batch resize. Question came up. Can it handle both landscape and portrait formats at same time in batch mode?
Example: I have a lot of large photos, wanting to reduce them to 1280x720 (if landscape format) or 720x1280 (if portrait format).
Can these be done at same time in batch mode, or do I need to process them separately. Thanks!

After reading the comments already posted, I am still a bit confused on what this software actually does. I have seen no reply thus far that provides a clear description, and the promo text does not provide that either. So I will ask specific questions:
1. Does this software reduce or increase the file (hard drive storage) size?
2. Does this software reduce or increase the pixel size?

I'm hoping it does the latter (2.). If so I will go ahead with the download and installation. I await your reply.

Thank you.

Can you please explain how this program resizes images? For instance, If I select a very large size, will it result in pixelation?

how does one leave feedback?

I clicked 'leave feedback' link and don't see how/
where to leave feedback?

Suggestions:
1. Allow 'drag and drop" to take images from file folder to software =
unnecessarily long/round about to have to hunt for folder
2. allow for software to add an extension to image name - to distinguish
it from original (i use tools.dynamicdrive.com/images - you select which
version you want and a _# is automatically added)
3. by 'jpeg image compression", i assume the software is reducing the
image file size - NOT- image dimensions?

if yes, why not just create a number of different compressions and allow
user to select best version? I'm guessing most users won't know best
compression - how does one select best?

with this software, i'd have to make many different versions -
time consuming - then, try to figure out which to select by opening them
one at a time ?? time consuming and confusing

I just made two file compressions...chose what i thought would
be a good percentge - and the output was still larger than the one
i did with dynamicdrive - time consuming - confusing

thank you

I only get an error: "Enter a valid name for image."
Deleted.

thanks great little software. Anyone know where you can download software informer for this site please.

Registration (via the instructions in the README file) went quickly; no problems at all. The interface and controls seem clear and easy to use. I've been looking for a good batch resizer; I think this is it. Thank you to GAOTD and MSTech!
