FastStone Photo Resizer 3.1

I have to say that I don’t like to waste time and I like to get things done as fast as possible. That is why I really appreciate the fast and easy to use application FastStone Photo Resizer. I really like that it does its job and does it rapidly and efficiently, thus making me happy that I got the job done without wasting time.

One question is going through your mind right about now: “What precisely does FastStone Photo Resizer do?” The application’s name gives you a clue, but it doesn’t give you the whole story. As the application’s name so adequately points out, you can use it to resize your photos. How does that tie in with the “helps me get things done fast” part I mentioned above? The application provides support for batch operations, which means you can resize multiple images at the same time. That’s a lot more efficient and time consuming than doing it one at a time.

As I was saying, the application’s name doesn’t give you the whole story. Apart from resizing, you can also rename, crop, rotate, change color depth, add text and watermarks, and convert images from one format to another – in batch mode of course. You can do that with the following image file types: JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG, and TIFF. As a little side note, these are some of the most popular image types out there.

On top of the functionality it has to offer, you are going to like that FastStone Photo Resizer is quite easy to use. The interface is so easy to use that no one, not even a novice computer user will have any problems getting accustomed to it. From the left hand pane you can navigate your system and locate the files you want to convert, or rename, or so on. When you click an image file, a preview shows up in the bottom middle part of the interface. Once you find the image you want to convert, click the “Add” button and it will be placed in the pane to the right. Then play with the settings and tell what you want FastStone Photo Resizer to do. All you have to do then is hit the “Convert”

So if you want a user friendly and fast application to convert, rename, resize, crop, rotate, change color depth, and batch watermark, get FastStone Photo Resizer. Just take a quick look at the technical details presented below before you do:

• Download – the download weighs in at a mere 1.4MB. In keeping with the “get things done fast” theme we’ve got going on there, you will like that such a lightweight download will complete in a blink.
• Installation – to install FastStone Photo Resizer on your Windows-powered computer just double click the executable you downloaded. A wizard will then guide you through the steps you need to take. In no time at all you’ll have FastStone Photo Resizer up and running.
• Limitations – once you have FastStone Photo Resizer installed on your computer, you can use it for free for personal and/or educational use. If you plan on using it for commercial purposes, you need to register the application.

With the FastStone Photo Resizer you can get things done rapidly and efficiently. When I say “things” I mean batch convert, rename, resize, crop, rotate, change color depth, and add text and watermarks to images.
