Before you share images via email, Facebook, or some other online means, the chances are that you have to spend time resizing them. This may be to overcome size restrictions (in the case of email attachments) or to reduce upload time (when you are sharing via social networks). Sizester is a great low-cost tool that lets you resize and share from the same place, helping you to get your images online faster than ever.
This is a small app that loads and operates incredibly quickly, making it a far cry from slow and cumbersome image editors that you may be used to. While it’s not free of charge, the asking price is very low and the ease with which it enables you to get your images online more than makes it worthwhile. It includes just the features you need to get the job done so you are not overwhelmed with unnecessary options.
You can work with images on an individual basis, or in batches, and there are couple of ways in which you can reduce the size of your pictures. Resizing can be achieved by using a slider to choose from one of ten pre-defined size, or you can shrink images based on percentages. You can also specify an exact height or width of image you would like, and you can then use a slider to choose an image quality. You can also crop images with a couple of clicks.
If you change your mind about the settings you have chosen by looking at the preview, there is an multi-level undo feature available. The Upload button beneath the preview window gives you instant access to a number of social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook as well as image services like Flickr and Smugmug. You can also send the resized images as email attachments from within the app, and save them as new files so you can use them in other projects.
