Cool Resizer

Find a folder that contains images, select the images you would like to resize/downsize, tell Cool Resizer how you would like it to resize those images, and click the "Start resizing!" button. That is, in a nutshell, what you have to do to batch resize images with the aptly named Cool Resizer, a digital image resizing tool that can handle JPEG, GIF as well as BMP files.

According to the developer, Cool Resizer is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1, and Windows 10. To get it up and running on a PC that runs any of these Windows editions, you will have to go through a standard installation procedure: download an installer, run it, follow the setup wizard’s instructions.

Cool Resizer puts two elements on your desktop: its interface and a preview window. The aforementioned interface features a browser panel on the left which you can use to find a folder that contains images and to select the images you want to resize. On the right hand side, the interface lists all the resizing options that Cool Resizer has to offer.

As mentioned at the start, using Cool Resizer is a very simple process. If I were to break it down into steps, it would go something like this:
Step 1 – located and select the images that you would like to resize. Cool Resizer can handle JPEG, BMP, and GIF images.
Step 2 – specify how the images will be resized: small thumbnails, email, web very large, and so on.
Step 3 – click the "Start resizing!" button and wait for the resizing process to complete.

Cool Resizer is free to use for a trial period of 30 days. A prompt will show up whenever you launch or close Cool Resizer and invite you to buy a license. At the time of writing this a single user license is priced at $9.95, a family license is priced at $16.95, and a business license is priced at $19.95.

Cool Resizer works as advertised. It takes the images you give it and it resizes them. Multiple resizing options are available and the whole resizing process won’t take but a moment.
