What it does
Light Image Resizer converts and resizes images individually or in batches, with presets, custom profiles and Windows context-menu access.
Select images in Windows, choose a profile and set resolution, naming, format and destination before processing copies or originals. Original Resolution converts format without resizing. Overwrites create .bak backups by default, but that protection can be disabled; date and colour/depth settings are separate. Current Windows 8.1/10/11 builds have no native Mac counterpart, and some formats need extensions/plugins. Paid rights cover the purchased major version and minor updates indefinitely on two owned computers for one user; major upgrades usually cost extra.
Strengths
