software > imgProcessor - Resize your JPEG/JPG images taken from your camera in batch mode


What it does

imgProcessor is a handy little application to resize all .jpg in a folder to a specific size and jpeg quality. Original images are preserved and new ones are produced with suffix _resXXX.jpg where XXX is the new width in pixels.



(i) Select the folder you want
(ii) Enter the width (Output Resolution) of the new image (the aspect ratio will be preserved)
(iii) Choose the JPEG color space (this will affect the size of file and its portability)
(iv) Choose the JPEG quality (this will affect the size of file)
(v) Click "Process"



In single file mode.
Right-click a .jpg file in explorer and choose "[ Open with imgProcessor ]"
