BatchMagic

This application makes it a breeze to resize images in bulk but offers little beyond its basic functionality. BatchMagic's interface won't confuse even the greenest newbie, as it features large, clearly labeled icons for adding files or folders, changing settings, and converting images. We like the fact that the app lets you simply drag pics into its main window, but we were a bit baffled to discover you can't change the destination directory for your new images. Once you've chosen the files you want to resize, you decide whether you want your new images to be thumbnails, medium-size, large, or all three. Then, you simply select the image quality and set the width and height, and BatchMagic quickly does its thing. However, the program can only resize pictures to the JPEG format, which seems limiting to us. In spite of this, Webmasters and graphic designers will appreciate this utility's hassle-free operation.
