The Simplest Way To Automagically Resize Photos Before Sending Out

 Shrink Pic

Sending a 5mb photo to your friend is not a good idea.. This is where Shrink Pic comes into place.

The software monitors every photo you're sending to your friends, and automagically resize it before sending out :)

For example, I tried to send this 1.18mb photo with Gmail..

It becomes only 189kb without doing anything on my part.

(Tested working on WinXP, Windows 7, IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Outlook, Thunderbird, MSN, etc. Works with most web based email like Gmail, Yahoo Mail too)

1) Install Shrink Pic. It sits on your taskbar and you may disable it anytime by right clicking on the taskbar icon.

     

2) In the Settings window, one may change the dimension of the resized photo. Normally we'll use 'low compression'. (Though I prefer to use 'custom' 1440 by 900 which fits my monitor's resolution.)

     

3) In the 'Photo types' tab you may select which type of image files to be processed. Select any that you want and check 'Change all photos to JPG' so that different image file types will be converted to jpg which gives the best compression to quality ratio.

     

4) You're done. Every photo that you send now will be automatically resized (The original photo won't be altered as it will create a new image file)

If you want to resize a picture and save it in your harddisk instead, refer to this post.
