Need to batch resize photos on Windows? This is a very simple utility to allow you to batch-resize digital photos. You simply indicate your maximum width or height in pixels and drag and drop your images (or folder containing images) onto the window. The program will then batch-resize all images into a subfolder. It can't get any easier than that. You can also choose the output file type and install shell extensions so that you can right-click on any photo in Windows Explorer and resize from there.
