Web Tools - Image Resizer
Resizing images can be daunting. We provide a content management system for mostly every website we do. The content management system completed now is just version 1.0 and we are starting the works on version 2.0.
One of the things we train our clients is the resizing of photos. When you upload a 2000px wide photo and only mess with the dimensions, it still loads as a 2000px wide photo. The picture needs to be resized at the dimension that it will be used at. Most of the time we suggested using a program called IfranView. Sometimes after coaching a client over at their office or on the phone it was still a difficult program to grasp. I usually use Photoshop to resize my images but I don’t expect the client to have such a program. IfranView is free but can be difficult to understand if you are not use to resizing images.
After talking with a client on the phone I did a quick google search and found about the easiest image resizer I have seen. After showing this to the client she thanked me for the find and I thought I should post it here for others to use as well. The name of the program is called Web Resizer. You upload the photo you want to resize, enter the dimensions you want it to be and it will even crop it for you.
The reason I like the crop function is because it is hard to explain to clients that you can’t just enter the exact dimensions on every photo because it will distort the image. A 10 px by 10 px photo can not be resized to 5px by 2px without looking funky. After uploading the image and processing the new size it will give you a link to download the new image. This is a great free easy to use image resizer and is worth bookmarking or noting.
