Resize images

I sometimes like to add images to WebCT, or use a photo of my own as an icon. It’s always been so much trouble though to open Photoshop (which I’m not very comfortable with) just to resize a photo. In my travels through other blogs, I found this nifty online application called ResizR that allows me to quickly upload a photo, resize it, and then save the new, smaller image on my desktop.

It’s a simple, quick application that does exactly what I need it to do, and nothing more.

    Wow, isn’t that going the long way around? You don’t have to haul out Photoshop — there’s very lightweight and free image manipulation software out there, for example Irfanview…

    Exactly, I always hated figuring out one little task in Photoshop. Irfanview looks a bit more complex than ResizeR (which ONLY resizes the images) - handy! Do we have a page on the wiki for all the nifty software apps we use? (we should form a committee!)
