Batch photo size reduction

[daltontrees]

I wonder if anyone can help?

 

I usually take my job and survey photos at quite high resolution, pictrues are about 1.5Mb each, I never know which ones will turn out to be important for fine detail and zooming right in. But mostly they just end up saved in a folder, gobbling up computer memory. I can compress them one at a time using Microoft Picture Manager, it usually gets pictures down to about 125k, but ti takes ages and I can't imagine ever having time to do them all. But I hear there is such a thing as batch picture managers that let you select hundreds of pictures and at one click it will open, reduce, save and close each one of them. While you can get on with something useful.

 

Has anyone used one of these and do you know where I can get one? Any help greatly appreciated.

I use a application called picsizer.

 

Its a old one but is very simple to use. nothing fancy.

Yep, I have Windows XP, Vista and 8 available.

 

I've just thought, I could upload all my pics to Arbtalk and then download them again. That would compress them:sneaky2:

I use PIXresizer; you can do individual or multiple trees.

Not sure how au fait you are with Photoshop.

If you have it you can make a resizing action then automate it to batch resize a folder full of images. Simple, but no use if you don't use PS.

If that is the case then here's a decent pic editor that can do the same thing
