htm -----------------------------------------------------------------------Intro -----------------------------------------------------------------------PIXresizer is a tool for quic ly generating screen-friendly versions of your images with dramatically reduced file sizes. It is a photo resizing program that enables you to quic ly resize one file or a selection of image files for use on the web and in e-mail. The reduced files are save d in a different directory, so your original pictures are not changed. The program offers several different resizing methods to choose from and can automatically recognize image sizes to calculate the best fit. PIXresizer includes a built-in image viewer and you can also convert between graphics formats: it opens and saves in .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, and .tif formats. A great companion for webmasters and digital photographers. -----------------------------------------------------------------------Requirements -----------------------------------------------------------------------A file you _may_ need is the VBruntime.
