VSO Image Resizer

VSO Image Resizer enables you to batch resize a selection of images to a variety of popular image resolutions, as well as custom dimensions. It supports .bmp, .gif, .png, .jpg and .tiff formats and can optionally convert the output to one of the supported formats. Other features include adjustable JPG compression and choice of filtering algorithm, as well as renaming schemes and an Windows Explorer integration for convenient resizing from the right-click menu. Photographers will appreciate the fact that VSO Image Resizer keeps EXIF data intact.
