• Worked like a charm, saved lots of time

  keithsharris4/2/2016

  Pros

  Downloaded and installed on a Windows 10 machine in about 2 minutes and within 5 minutes had batched and resized 40 huge photos. Compressed sizes were between 9% and 15% of original sizes. Quality good. GUI is easy to figure out and worked without quirks.

  Cons

  None so far.

  Summary

  Installs smoothly and works fast, just as Editors said. Their review is right on target this time.

• Does its job, but has some bugs

  7/21/2015

  Pros

  Does its job well of batch resizing images

  Cons

  Messed up some of my images by adding randomly sized (usually 1~10 pixels wide) blue borders to them, had to clean them up one by one by hand, wasted almost half a day because of this

  Summary

  <br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 21, 2015<p/>Gave it another shot and used it again. Still produced random blue borders. Still frustrated at the hours wasted cleaning up the mess. Not going to use this software again until this bug is fixed.

• Abort, Retry, Fail

  TheAtomicSoul4/26/2015

  Pros

  I used this back on a Win7 PC and it worked great. But on Win8 it won't install.

  Cons

  Trying it now I get a popup saying "Abort, Retry, Fail". I haven't seen this since Windows 95. Additional info: "Error opening file for writing: C:\Program Files (x86)\FastStone Photo Resizer\LiscenseAgreement.rtf For v3.2 and 3.3

  Summary

  Will re-review if this can be fixed.

• I'm delighted

  AlwaysGrateful3/18/2015

  Pros

  - Very simple to use, or make it a bit complex if you want. - Can add borders, frames, and watermarks - Uses few resources - Configurable to suit my own preferences - Free and no ads.

  Cons

  There are no cons.

  Summary

  Admittedly the size one specifies is not always exactly what turns out, but it is certainly close enough for my purposes. Given that it is so fast and easy to use, I'm not about to quibble over minor discrepancies. I initially wanted only to shrink some of my images to make them easier to email. Now that I've found that I can add text, borders, frames, and watermarks I'm really excited. Batch renaming is another unexpected bonus. FastStone has hit another home run with this product.

• It does what it says--and also what it doesn't say

  lmonteros2/26/2015

  Pros

  Fast batch resizing and text addition Easy, intuitive interface Loads quickly Saving options

  Cons

  Resizes whether you want it to or not Resizing is not consistent Resize ratio does not stick to chosen parameters

  Summary

  This is a great product except for one thing: The resizing simply does not maintain the parameters that are set. I often have to do a batch several times to get it right. The percentage resize just is not consistent nor accurate. The worst thing, absolutely terrible is that it resizes even when that option is unchecked or set at 100 percent. For example, I wanted to add text (I use text instead of a watermark jpeg) to a batch but not resize the photos. This cannot be done; Faststone resized them from 100 percent to 14-16 percent. I have emailed customer suppport at leasgt three times to ask about this, and was never contacted. Yes, the app is free, but this is a major problem and certainly they can at least say "we can't change that" or "here's a workaround".
