Able Photo Resizer is a simple, quick and easy tool to resize (reduce or enlarge) any single or batches of photos or images for the purpose of sending it by email, publish it on the web or just to save space on your hard drive.

Pros: Most photos acquired using a digital camera or a scanner are too large for use on any web page, they must be resized first. On the other hand you would like to share the images with family & friends or even through a website. You may want to resize one to set it up as your avatar.

We have provided Able Photo Resizer to allow you to easily resize your photos in three easy steps. Able Photo Resizer includes the ability to batch resize pictures, batch resize photos, and perform batch image resize functions for the purpose of email (to friends and family) and web sites, or just to save space on your hard drive, or whatever reason you might have.

It can be used to enlarge a small image for better viewing using different filters for optimum results. The resizing allows you to force a specified width or height and keep the proportions, or define fixed image dimensions. Besides, the program can rename file and more. With the digital camera producing hundreds of images quite easily and quickly you need to be able to process thousands of files as soon as possible. This application aims to all that and does that quite well. Able Photo Resizer can keep or remove all metadata information (Jpg EXIF, Tiff Tags etc). Most cameras add information about aperture, light, comments and much more to the photo. You can delete this to reduce the file size even more.

The program supports 60 odd input formats including JPEG, JPG, GIF, PCX, DCX, TIF, TIFF, BMP, WBMP, RLE, DIB, ICO, CUR, PNG, EMF, WMF, TGA, VDA, ICB, PCD, PIX, PGM, PPM, PSD, PSP, SGI, JPEG200, RAW (CRW, CR2, NEF, PEF, RAF, X3F, BAY, ORF, SRF, MRW, DCR, SR2, DNG, ARW) etc and 18 output formats that are JPG, TIF, GIF, PCX, PNG, BMP, TGA, PXM, PPM, PGM, PBM, JP2, J2K, PDF, PS, DCX, PSD, ICO.

Cons: No problematic issues noticed.

Overall: Well featured application, easy to used and easy to learn. This is good for a 4 star rating.
