Programm for resizing "many" pics ?

[Youkai]

Hi there,
Is there a Programm that could actually resize a big ammount of pictures all to the same size somewhere ?

I usually use irfanview and I noticed even without resizing the way to big pictures the size changes from 7MB to 1,3MB when I just save the pics ...
Currently because the pics are so big my Folder is about 14GB (~2300 pictures from my last holliday) and doing it all one by one would take the whole day oO

Some people asked me if I could give them my pictures but with 14GB you don't just send them via mail ... but if i could make them about 1/7 the size it would be only 2-3 GB and that could be burned on DVD without a problem ^^

I'm pretty sure that IrfanView supports Batch Resizing and Batch Conversion - those are the options you're looking for.

I recommend FastStone.
It's freeware and it works great.

Highlight and right click then choose "resize picture". It's what I use for my large pictures taken with my digital camera.

I think the latest version of Picasa from Google can do what you want, but I am not sure.

I do know that Picasa can post them to some sort of Google+ sharing web site for pictures and that might be something to consider?

Well, how are you saving them? A 24-bit PNG is going to take up more space than an 8-bit PNG but have access to more colors, a JPEG can be saved with varying quality levels, etc.

Picasa is really worth every pennies you will pay for it...

IrfanView does that. Try opening the IrfanView - Thumbnails program. Find your pic, then go to File > Start batch dialog with selected files... and check the Advanced options. Then click Advanced and adjust the settings to your liking. Then click Start Batch and wait
This is the quickest method, since you dont have to install anything else... but you may find other programs prettier, interface-wise.

EDIT... oh, it seems you had already resized them XD I guess I was late.

My recommendation is this http://pixresizer.en.softonic.com/

I found it works well for me and the quality is alot better than doing it manually with PS.
