PixResizer for Windows

User Reviews

• Very bad user interface

  istvanumeszaros3/8/2016

  Pros

  The ability to process multiple files.

  Cons

  You can't compare the optimized and the original images. There is no way to select jpg chroma subsampling or png number of colors. This program is not good when you want to push the limits.

• Useful enough.

  gumbygordo1/23/2014

  Pros

  It does what it does. Very easy user interface. Fast. I like that the user interface is laid out in a series of logically oriented steps.

  Cons

  The file selector shows all the files in a folder, even nonpicture files. You need to browse to your destination folder. It would be nice to have overwrite and save to original folder options. I can't say I like the Cnet downloader. The decline button is greyed out even though it is active and you can click it to decline the add-on crapware that Cnet is trying to push.

• Great, but be aware...

  Pros

  Does what it says it will Easy to use Help info explains clearly

  Cons

  <b>You CAN ask it to do too much>/b>: I scanned a very old photo in a 1200 dpi tiff, and it was 38 MB! When I tried to reduce it I got an error message: "Oh no! Saving (file name) failed. Try to save under another name..." Trying to save under another name was useless, so I think the issue is that it's simply too large to begin with. I'll go back and try and save the original in a lower dpi or jpg, and then I suspect it will work.

  Summary

  For a free product I think it's excellent as long as you keep in mind its limitations. BTW, reviewers who complain about bloatware simply didn't uncheck boxes along the install that opted out of the extras. Can't blame the product for trying to cross-market; blame the user.

• Loads of Add-on crap, and it does not ask permission.

• Comes bundled with invasive crap

  GrumpyPenguin3/25/2013

  Pros

  No idea, because I immediately uninstalled this program.

  Cons

  I downloaded this from CNET, thinking it would be safe. Instead, I was asked 3 different times if I wanted to also install some other crap. I said no each time. Then during the actual install it tried to add a new toolbar. I had to choose "custom install" to avoid this and even then the defaults were hard to get around. When I thought I had it licked, I installed the program...only to find that some pathetic crap called "WamJam" had completely taken over every one of my browsers. From there I had to completely uninstall "WamJam" even though I had never installed it in the first place. Then I had to reboot the comp. Once I had done that, I reopened my browser (Chrome) and the WamJam page was still there. I closed that actual page and re-opened Chrome and got back to Google...but ALL of my settings have been removed, all my open tabs disappeared and all of my history (including recently closed tabs) was gone, so I couldn't recover where I had been.

  Summary

  DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PRODUCT. You will be annoyed beyond belief by the invasive crap that comes with it and very sorry you bothered. I am disgusted with this company and with CNET for having this on their site.

• A little life-saver!

  francesholm9/3/2012

  Pros

  I love PIXresizer. It sits on my desktop and and is so easy just to click on in a hurry without having to open up any other complicated software. It's especialy useful when I'm emailing photos that are too big, and with PIXresizer it takes less than a minute to reduce the size.

  Cons

  Hmmmmm..... can't think of any! If you added any more features it would start turning into big-deal editing software and lose its agility.

  Summary

  It's just wonderful!

• quickly and efficiently.

  DarkskyAngel6/30/2012

  Pros

  very easy to use.

  Cons

  lacking a wider range of graphical resolution

  Summary

  <br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 11, 2012<p/>Great software, very easy to use and powerful. Only flaw the fact that there isn't possibility of choosing the single picture, but an entire folder.
