Nobody uses Irfan View here? Easy to use freeware. Used to use it in college to re size and compress pictures so as to make it easier to upload onto a website. Works like a charm.
Here's for you and for all. This is a simple photo resizer. It will reduce the size of photos and wont damage there quality. Just drag the photo/s to resizer icon and it will generate resized copies next to your original photos. Very easy. I have attached a zip folder containing the resizer. Enjoy.
