Resize Images Easily with the Image Resizer Powertoy

Most readers would agree that it’s a pain to resize images. It’s pretty easy to do so when you use a tool such as Photoshop, but consider the system resources used just to resize an image. A simple tool such as MS Paint or Gimp can be used to resize images too, provided you have the time to do it manually. However, the Image Resizer Powertoy can make it even simpler and more efficient to resize images.

With the Microsoft Image Resizer Powertoy, all you need to do to resize an image is to right click the file and click on “resize pictures”. You will then be presented with a window where you can choose from a set of predefined and commonly used resolutions, or you can enter your own resolution into the custom box. The program will automatically resize the image to the given resolution, keeping the ratio so the image does not appear stretched or compressed.
