Another Way to Easily Resize Your Digital Photos

Posted in: Web Info, Tips & Tricks

This tip is for all the folks out there who have asked “How can I EASILY resize my digital photos for e-mails/websites/CDs?”

The answer to your question comes from one of my favorite small online companies: CoffeeCup Software. The program you’ve been waiting for is PixConverter. (PixConverter 3.5, to be exact.)

Whether you want to resize 50 photos from your Hawaiian vacation at once, or you simply want to resize the one shot you took of Mount Royal at sunset, PixConverter is the answer. PixConverter even allows more tech-savvy users to watermark images, create thumbnails and place images directly into their websites with a built-in FTP Uploader.

PixConverter runs on Windows or under Boot Camp for Mac. You can try it free for 15 days, and if you love it, it’ll cost you $29. Visit www.coffeecup.com/pixconverter for more details and to download - and don’t forget to click the “Video Quick Look” link to watch a demo of Pix Converter in action.
