One of the most problematic things that I run into when blogging is resizing images. particularly when there are posts with lots of application icons, resizing all of them is a big hassle. (Although, a lot of the day editors do it for us, so kudos to them.) Either way, it’s a task that will be repeated again and again.

There are many ways to do that. The online service Resizr is easy, but you can’t do batch resizes and only .jpg files are supported. I know many folks on MacApper use the freeware-with-paid-benefits app ImageWell for their image resizing needs, but the free version doesn’t support batch imports either, and it does so much more than just resizing. What do you do when you just want to resize a couple of pictures? You resize ‘em all!

Just to be clear, Resize ‘Em All isn’t just a phrase, it’s an awesome freeware application that can resize all of your photos with a simple drag and drop interface. Resize ‘Em All has a similar feel to the popular shareware Photoshop alternative

Pixelmator, with a little bit of eye candy and a nice dark hud window to change the dimensions of images.

In addition to resizing the image (with or without keeping proportions), Resize ‘Em All allows you to rotate the image, and change the picture to a variety of popular file types. That, included with batch image resizes, and a “revert” button is about all that you’re gonna get with Resize ‘Em All. No, you can’t apply watermarks or do basic Photoshop-like tasks like you can with ImageWell, but Resize ‘Em All is an app that doesn’t do any more than it should. It’s there for when you just need to resize an image or two quickly and painlessly.

Resize ‘Em All is, in my opinion, the easiest way to quickly resize images and is available as a free download from eagle-of-liberty. How do you resize your images? Why would you use ImageWell and not Resize ‘Em All? Tell us in the comments!
