With Fast Image Resizer, you have a utility app on your desktop, and you drop images into it, and they are quickly resized to whatever settings you have entered into the program. There are two rotation settings to choose from, one is the usual 90-degree rotation, and the other setting uses EXIF data to determine the rotation of the image when it was taken by the camera. Its speed and ease-of-use makes it great for quickly creating thumbnail images for your website. The tool is very lightweight because it sticks to simple rules and does not bloat the process. If you want image cropping, then you can enable the auto-cropping function. The primary aim of the app is to maintain the same aspect ratio as the original, which means there is no cropping and no image warping to fit pre-defined image sizes.
