Resizing photos from context menu?

SimonC · 26 Nov 2013 at 12:59

Is there something out there, that will allow the user to right click the photo and resize it in one or two clicks?

I use irfanview or photoshop myself, but that's to completed for the person who needs it.

TIA

Look in the IrfanView help file. There's a section called "Command Line Options" in the Overview section. Looks like you can put some commands into a bat file and run that. Not entirely sure if you have to supply the information such as resize % or if the user can enter that themselves when they run the bat file.

Save it locally and use paint to resize. There is a resize button in the Win 7 version, XP may will be different.

Windows XP had a PowerToy to do it: link

This isn't supported on anything newer, but, someone has re-made it: link

This is awesome..

You rename the exe to the size you want (use the wizard on the website)

IE, mine is called..

PhotoResize1024IOH.exe

Which resizes images to 1024 width, high quality and overwrites the originals (you can pick what it does using the website)

Then I simply drag images onto a shortcut of the EXE and it will resize them all.

Thanks for the replies guys, think the last two look more promising tbh.
The person has been using a pc for years, but is totally clueless. So easier the better.

You could add a shortcut to that program I suggested into the sendto list
