Free Image Resizer for Window 7

Situation
We bought my mom a new 32GB Asus Transformer tf300t tablet recently for Christmas, and I wanted to pre-copy all the photos from the past year onto it.  I found a solution for shrinking my videos down in size to enable me to fit 1+ years worth of videos onto the tablet (see my previous blog posting), but the problem wasn't only with the video sizes, it was with the photo sizes too. That's when I knew I needed a fast and easy way to re-size my collection of photos, one that can convert batches.  As you can imagine, we took hundreds of photos in the past year.

Search Criteria
There were a number of free Image Re-sizers, but this time I was looking for one similar to the one I used in Windows XP.  Windows XP had one from Microsoft that you can download separately from the initial installment of Windows, that plugged into Windows Explorer, and worked with the right-click menu.

Solution
I did some searching around on Google, and to my surprise, I found a third party application/plug-in that worked the same as the one for Windows XP. It's located on Codeplex's website named...

"Image Resizer for Windows"

Conclusion
The application works well, and I was able to quickly shrink all my photos from the past year so that they would all fit into the tablet.  File sizes went from 1.5 MB-3.5MB to 100KB-250KB, which was awesome, and the pictures remained clear.

Note
If you convert large batches of photos, it will appear as though Windows Explorer has timed-out, but allow it to finish, and Windows Explorer will start responding again.  I have a fast computer, and so the time-outs weren't so bad.

Try it out, and see if you like it.
