Jpeg Resizer.5

Jpeg Resizer is a Java-based application you can use to change the dimensions of JPEG photographs. It doesn't integrate rich options or customization properties, making it accessible to all types of users, even those with little or no previous experience with such tools.

No setup necessary, besides Java

As long as you have Java installed, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can save the executable .jar file to a custom directory on the disk or copy it to a USB flash drive, in order to directly run it on any PC with Java. It doesn't modify Windows registry settings or create files on the disk without letting you know about it.

Simple GUI for resizing JPEGs

When it comes to the interface, Jpeg Resizer opts for a normal window with a plain and simple structure, where you can resort to the file browser to locate and select the output directory as well as use the drag-and-drop support to add the JPG file you want to take into account for the processing job.It's possible to specify the desired size by moving a slider or by entering the numerical value, set the image quality, as well as load a subtitle. The task doesn't take long, after which you can open the new JPEG photo to inspect results. There are no other notable settings provided by this app. Unfortunately, it doesn't support batch processing, so you're restricted to resizing only one file at a time.

Evaluation and conclusion

It didn't put a strain on the computer's performance in our tests, thanks to the fact that it required a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. We haven't experienced any stability issues, as it didn't hang, crash or indicate errors.To wrap it up, Jpeg Resizer delivers a straightforward solution for changing the dimensions of JPEG pictures on any computer that has Java installed. Too bad that it doesn't come loaded with richer features for more experienced users.
