Free Batch Image Resizer Flexxi

from JoeUser Forums

 

It’s a nice, free image renamer and resizer. It can make your work really easy if you aren’t into image resizing, don’t want to learn image processing and couldn’t care less about size vs. resolution.

First you choose the pictures for resizing individually or by folder, then choose the size by preset buttons or manually. You then go to the “Rotate” button and determine direction, but can also skip that step. Next comes “Rename” and you can modify the original name and pattern. You then choose the type of image extension: JPEG, GIF, PNG or TIFF. The last step is the “Save to” where you choose the destination of the file or sub-file where the results are to be saved.

There are some additional settings where you can overwrite existing files or create copies. After all this is done, you click the “Start” button and the images will be processed one by one.

I give it a solid 9/10 overall and a UI of ‘functional and excellent’. The price is good too.

Doc, question before I try this. I really never have a problem using PS till I want to make an image very small from a larger one. I just change my image to a Smart Object. I find the pixels stay very good doing it this way. I don't do very many pictures.

Have you tried this doing what I said I do above?

I use 'Open as Smart Object', 'Convert to Smart Object' and 'Convert for Smart Filters' often...especially when transforming/resizing to prevent loss during these operations. Together with that, Ps can batch convert also, and you can specify size and format in it also.

If you're familiar with actions, there is a simple way to do that as well. I recommended Flexxi for folks without Ps, etc.

 

However, you can also use Faststone to do this (http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm) and the "here's how" is here (has video embedded as well): http://imagingtips.com/faststone/batch/0100batch.shtml

Hope this helped?
