Extremely useful features. Pity IrfanView does not seem to be able to resize images where they are within sub folders. It copies them all to the destination folder, even if I tick the “Replace file” option. It then only replaces existing file names in the destination folder. PicSizer did the job spot on, even if ran a little slower.

great tip, however, on my copy of irfanview (3.99), i had to check “preserve aspect ratio (proportional)” and “use resample function (better quality)” in the advanced options to keep my photos from looking like scenes from a spaghetti western.

I used Irfanview for years but now prefer XnView for its increased options when batch processing the images.

I have been using IrfanView for years. I love this program, and not just because it is free. This tutorial is a Godsend. I have been resizing images one at a time for ever. Thanks for the new info. You just saved me a lot of editing hours.

I hear you Michael. I’ve outgrown iPhoto, but have yet to find something that satisfies my needs.

Dearest Zen,

I have been an AVID IrfanView user for about 5 years now. I install it on all new computers that I own or admin at my job. It is the BEST image viewer on Windows. I have searched for a comparable Mac equivalent. But I have not found one that does basic editing AND batch functions AND that is free. Great tutorial!
