Image Resizers are specialized tools which simplify the task of resizing multiple images to pre-set or custom resolutions. Whether it's to reduce the size of digital camera images so the pictures can be sent via email or adjusting the size of an image to fit within the availabe space on a web page or in a document, just about everyone has had the need to resize images - usually multiple images at a time.

Review Results
This review is in work. Until the review is complete, I suggest the following application for your image resizer program needs:

• Microsoft PowerToy Image Resizer
  This extremely simple-to-use tool integrates into the Windows Explorer. Simply select the images to be resized, then use the right mouse context menu to select new image size. A new set of resized images will be placed in the same folders as the original images. The original images are not modified.

Image Resizer Features
These are the minimum features that I expect from an image resizer. Each of the candidate programs will be ranked against how well they implement these features. As the review continues, the list of features may change.

1. Ease of use
2. Explorer integration
3. Standard and custom sizes
4. Format conversion (JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG)
5. Target location options (same folder, default folder, sub-folder)
6. ... still in work
