RapidoResizer

Version: 1.1.1 || Release Date: 2008-05-22 || License: Freeware Developer: APP4MAC | App Owner: bullaballoo

If you ever need to work in design, web design, photos work, or general image
editing, you may need to resize an image. There ain't many methods which you
can do it quickly and easily.

RapidoResizer is the ultimate solution. It allows you to resize your pictures
and then to save them. Also, with this utility, you can extract applications icons.

Once you have opened an image or a group of images you get a range of options for you to apply
to the image. This enables you to change the dimensions quickly an easily. If you want
to apply this to many images at a time, it's possible with the "Edit.." option in the File menu.

In addition to resizing the image (with or without keeping proportions), RapidoResizer allows you
to rotate the image, and change the picture to a variety of popular file types.

RapidoResizer is Freeware, gratis and freely usable!
You can copy and distribute it. You can use it for as long as you want.

I prefer using Automator.

Nice application, but they seriously need to revisit their icon designs.

A rebranded version of resize'em'all with a nag screen on close. No difference otherwise.

Personally, I find this utility (v 1.0.5) does fine for my simple needs - just to quickly resize a batch of pix and nothing else. It does that quite well and pretty quickly. When I want some simple task done I hate wading through "bells n whistles," so I keep trim little apps like this one handy. Given time and positive feedback, this very nice utility will do well.

I concur with the notes pointed out by arundel below, and I'd like to add one thing that is left wishing for:

- Image rotation! (Clockwise, anti-clockwise and mirroring.) Perhaps this would kind of make the app name a bit ambiguous, as it would probably more or less double its amount of features. How about Batch 'Em All instead? (Just a suggestion.)

On the good side, I must say that it looks very promising!! Keep up the good work!

I'm pretty demanding when it comes to resizing images, so take this with a grain of salt, but here's how this program (v1.0.3) doesn't help me...
- Can't control compression level - large JPGs
- Batch functions don't always "remember" the horizontal dimension
- Batch Save All doesn't adjust the dimensions to stay proportional, stretches all images to match the first.
- Save button overwrites without prompting (good if you're expecting it)
- Save As... dialog demands you select the format every time, no default or matching the black window's setting.
- Limited keyboard commands, focus jumps to Cancel button on last image.
