Hi guys,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a fast and lightweight photo resizer software? I have downloaded one or two but they have a lot of features I don't need and they're taking up space so I was wondering if anyone on here knew of any really lightweight ones for my laptop?

I have 1400 pictures of a trip to the USA and want to resize some of them for semi-quick uploading!

Thanks!

Yes, another vote for irfanview. Plugin pack is worth installing to if you use raw files, lossless jpeg crop/rotation and exif etc. Smartcurves is a really handy plugin for it aswell

There is a small (free) utility called Pliska which just does Batch Resizing of jpegs. Very small and simple.
