Many people who have followed me for some time now have noticed that I have started to add images and pictures to my posts. The pictures that I add are mine and I have found a wonderful piece of FREE software that helps me in the process. It's called MariusSoft Bulk Image Resizer and it allows you to re-size multiple images at one time. It's a wonderful and simple software that I have found very valuable.
It's a very simple program, as you can see from the image of it above. You pick the image or images that you wish to re-size with the buttons beneath the window on the left. Then you pick whether you want to re-size the length, the width, or both on the upper right. On the middle right, you can pick the size of the length and width and whether you want it to be re-sized in inches or pixels. Below that you choose the prefix and suffix of the file you save and then the quality of said file. Finally you can manually add or browse for a directory to save the file within when you are ready to finish the job.
There are no labels on the buttons in the program, so it takes a few minutes of clicking to figure out what each one does. But, it doesn't take very long at all to get used to and you'll be off and running. So, for you guys that want to streamline the size of your pics in posts, this is a fast, easy, and free way to do so.
You may download this software directly from the MariusSoft website here! Feel free to check it out and see what you think for yourself. Have fun and happy blogging! Of course, you don't have to use it just for blogging, there are tons of reasons this would come in handy.

Thanks for the tip
I love new tools. I am heading right over to the site.

JL... i have noticed a marked improvement in images on your blog.
You are aware, I assume, that you can simply download your photos to here, on AR, and resize them once you've imported them... simply by grabbing the corner and pushing or pulilng.... right? No extra program required.
JL...
Thanks for sharing ... and Alan ... no, I did not know that! But there are plenty of times when I want to do a bulk re-size and I really like free!
Thanks JL! I have Paint, and for my pictures (which are not uploaded to AR blog posts), it's not that easy to resize. I appreciate the share . . .
I like the word free also. Doing a bulk amount this program could save a lot of time!
I can't seem to wrap my head around these online image editing tools. I'm too used to my own software =/ We all seem to get stuck with whatever we used when we started.
Thanks for the tip JL. I'll have to bookmark this too.
David- You're very welcome, hope you enjoy.
Alan- You call it an improvement, I just call it a change. Your assumption is correct, I am aware of this, but you are aware, I assume, that everything I write is not done here on AR. You don't have to download it big guy, I just like it, so I use it.
Richard- It has come in handy for me several times, I hope you find it useful as well.
Carla- Well, then give these guys a shot and see what you think.
Bill- It really can be a time saver, and it's great making multiple images the same size.
Lisa- If you have something you are used to and it works, then stick with it.
Rick- You're welcome, thanks for stopping in.
Oooh, I like free and the ability to re-size multiple images is great time saver. Thanks a bunch JL, this intel is greatly appreciated!
LOL, you mean AR is not your complete life JL?
Cynthia- It's a great little tool in my opinion, that's why I'm sharing it. Hope it does you some good.
No, I'm afraid the brain washing isn't totally complete yet. Believe it or not I do other things than post and comment here.
JL -- this is new one for me -- I have been using Photo shop --this sounds much easier --- thanks for sharing.

JL: You can resize your images using the little icon you use to add them. Just click the second tab and you can adjust the size without screwing up the proportions.
Liz- It is very easy to use once you get the hang of it.
Chris Ann- I know we can use AR's stuff, but I don't always use just AR, so this comes in very handy for me.
