Is there a program that can easily shrink photo files?

[beancounter]

I wanted to share a few pics of my recent trip, but most of the photos exceeded the file size limit. I could use an editing software to crop each of the down, but that's a pain.

Is there a program available that can automatically shrink a bunch of pics at once - or at least easily shrink one at a time?

I would like that program too if it exists!

Not sure if there's an editor that resizes multiple pics at one time; otherwise, if yoo're running Windows (not sure about Win 10,) you likely already have "Paint" installed as an accessory. Paint lets you resize pics one at a time, by percentage of size or by pixel-count.

Another free editor is Irfanview. Just search for Irfanview and you'll find places to download it.

I use the GIMP photo editor but it is a one at a time edit which can be very time consuming with multiple pictures. I have been using this free open source program for years and years. I don't know of any that do a bunch at a time.

I just found this and gave it a try. It works really great.

Thanks All! Found a program that does the job.

That is awesome! I guess I was so used to just using the GIMP and doing it that way for years, I didn't even look for anything else. LOL

What did you find? Different one from what I linked?

Yea, I found Zoner Photo Studio. A bit clunky, but it got the job done. Thanks for posting the link to Fotosizer. I am definitely going to use that next time!

I love PIXresizer. Small, simple program, that lets you resize one or a whole batch of images into a choice of formats.
