There was this useful tool I had installed in Windows XP that allowed me to quickly resize images by right clicking them. It was a Microsoft PowerToy that you could get free from the Microsoft website. I found myself using it all the time when sending photos in email or uploading.
When I moved to Windows 7 (which I am very happy with so far), I did not think about losing it. The XP powertoy is not available for Windows 7 (that I could find), so I looked for an alternative. Here it is: Image Resizer Powertoy Clone for Windows.
This tool is a “clone” of the XP powertoy and works pretty much exactly like the original. Oh, and its free to use. It supports x32 and x64, so you Vista and 7 x64 users (that includes me and pretty much everyone with a newer Windows computer) are not left out.
A thank you goes out to the developer of this great little app.
haha This is one of the first things I installed when I first got windows 7. I don’t know what I would do without that quick and easy little right clicker resizer tool! The new one is actually a little bit better than the one we had as a Microstock powertoy, too I think. The Colors seem to hold up a little bit better after conversion.
