I normally use an older version of Paint Shop Pro (by JASC, before it sold out to Corel) to do my image resizing tasks, and on occasion but to a lesser extent, Adobe Photoshop. But for Web use (image shrinking, usually), it does get to be a pain to go through to the trouble of loading and using either of these… and since I’m not always at my own computer (I’m traveling, say, and don’t have my laptop) and I need to do a decent resize for a blog post, what then?
Easy… do it online. And for free!
The Reshade Online Image Resizer fits the bill perfectly, and costs nothing to use. You don’t even have to set up an account and try to remember yet another password, although you will be limited to only three images daily without one. If you see yourself using it frequently (and judging how well it does its job, I’m guessing you will), I say go ahead and sign up for a free account.
Oodles of features, not just resizing, and even more if you get the premium (pay) account. Never had need personally to use this nifty free service to that extent, so let me know how you like it if you have.

I found a free online image resizer called QuickResizer Image Resizer. If you are away from your PC and don’t want to download any software, you can just use this online version for free. It’s quick and it’s easy to use.
You can also download their full version of QuickResizer image resizer if you want to resize multiple files in a folder with just a click of the mouse.
