Freeware Pic: Resize ‘em All
One of the most problematic things that I run into when blogging is resizing images. Especially when there are posts with lots of application icons, resizing all of them is a big hassle. (Although, a lot of the time editors do it for us, so kudos to them.) Either way, it’s a task that will be repeated again and again.
There are many ways to do this. The online service Resizr is easy, but you can’t do batch resizes and only .jpg files are supported. I know many people on MacApper use the freeware-with-paid-benefits app ImageWell for their image resizing needs, but the free version doesn’t support batch imports either, and it does so much more than just resizing. What do you do when you just want to resize a couple of pictures? You resize ‘em all!
Just to be clear, Resize ‘Em All isn’t just a phrase, it’s an awesome freeware application that can resize all of your photos with a simple drag and drop interface. Resize ‘Em All has a similar feel to the popular shareware Photoshop alternative Pixelmator, with a little bit of eye candy and a nice dark hud window to change the dimensions of images.
In addition to resizing the image (with or without keeping proportions), Resize ‘Em All allows you to rotate the image, and change the picture to a variety of popular file types. That, included with batch image resizes, and a “revert” button is about all that you’re gonna get with Resize ‘Em All. No, you can’t apply watermarks or do basic Photoshop-like tasks like you can with ImageWell, but Resize ‘Em All is an app that doesn’t do any more than it should. It’s there for when you just need to resize an image or two quickly and painlessly.
Resize ‘Em All is, in my opinion, the easiest way to quickly resize images and is available as a free download from eagle-of-liberty. How do you resize your images? Why would you use ImageWell and not Resize ‘Em All? Tell us in the comments!
I’m using photoDrop :

Nice app, but I just use the batch resize function of Photoshop since it’s always open anyway.
Thanks for the hint! I have been using Automator finder plug-ins, but this app looks much easier to use.
Best,

thanks so much for the tip…
haven’t heard about this app!
great find.
I’ve been using this for a while and I just love it. Highly recommended. Easy to use. Does what it claims. And it’s free! Oh, and it is attractive too.

mmm…. quicksilver can do this in a matter of seconds with batches of images, and doesn’t require an extra program to download if you’re already using quicksilver (which you should be)
Kevin,
How do you do this with QS? Thanks.

I love it! Thanks MacApper
Tim:
You first need to check “Enable Advanced Features,” but just install the “Image Manipulations Actions” plugin and its pretty self explanatory from there.
Usually I use Photoshop because it’s always open because of my work.
But there is a nice option in Mail I have often used to reduce file size. When a picture is dragged into new mail a button appears at the bottom right, which allows you to resize the picture you are sending.
Also, in Leopard Mail, right clicking adds few more options for pdf and more file formats.
