Anybody know of freeware image converter that crops, resizes and can do batch files?

[scotstech]

Hi Folks,

 

Is anybody aware of any freeware programs for Win7 that can resize, crop and batch process these images?

 

Intended use is for pupil ID cards for office staff.

 

Any advice greatfully received.

 

Kind Regards

Or Fotosizer Batch Image Resizer - Image resizing made easy

I use this one

 

FastStone Photo Resizer - Powerful Image Converter/Resizer

[edutech4schools]

I would use Image Resizer for Windows

 

It gives you right click context menu, so no software to open. Right click on photo or select multiple photos and choose resize. Fool proof.

We should just have ZH repeat post this thread automatically instead of having to retype it everytime

Thanks to all who replied, some great choices there, but nothing simple enough for office staff to use sadly.

Not simple enough?! So what is the requirement?

[SimpleSi]

I think he needs the app that scans a cd, finds the images, works out where the head is and guesses what size to reduce it to and automatically matches up to the correct pupil in SIMS

But don't tell him the name of it!

import SIMSPhotoAI

 

Ah - Python!

Could try the force....

This one Quick Image Resizer - Resize your digital photos and JPEG images is not free but it's cheap and it seems to be as easy as you can make such a simple operation.

When I suggested imagemagik, I was thinking a batch script around 'convert' - which could just do the job on a pre-specified folder and output to a different one, so you could tell the users "put pics here, click button, look over there".

Need an app which is simple enough to take passport style photos from webcam for a secure SIMS like ID card system.

 

Office staff are claiming that the act of taking photo and cropping/resizing (if needed) is far too complicated, and a technician should be taking the photos, (and preferably doing the data entry too).

 

If there's a paid app that does this, then that might be an option.
