What is Reddit's opinion of FastStone Photo Resizer?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

run your images through an image resizing app.

something like this might help (i haven't used it personally but my web dev friends like it)

the images themselves are 'acceptable' by todays standards but i'm a minimalist and think individual images should be smaller as well. But many will probably tell you that the individual skin pages are fine.. i'd still try to shrink them down while preserving quality best you can.

for the skin list page, create separate thumbnails instead of using CSS or whatever to resize the pictures dimensions. Even though the display area is smaller the size is still there. so create a thumbnail and compress them. I didn't try but i think you could realistically get them under 50k each (some are well over 1MB)

the benefits of doing so is you speed up load time, reduce the burden for those with metered internet connections and reduce the bandwidth needed for your web host which is especially important if your hosting account is also metered.

Faststone Photo Resizer might work for you. It's free and will make all sorts of changes to photos in batch mode. You could simply leave all the settings untouched (won't change the photos) but use the rename file feature.

Search around for a free batch image converter, something like this one, or maybe this one. I personally use the batch processing tool in Photoshop, so I don't really know much about these tools. But form the descriptions, they'd do the trick.

From the website

" FastStone Photo Resizer is an image converter and renaming tool that intends to enable users to convert, rename, resize, crop, rotate, change color depth, add text and watermarks to images in a quick and easy batch mode. Drag and Drop mouse operation is well supported. "

FastStone Photo Resizer can do this and is very useful for batch processing.

To control file size, set output format to JPG, click Setting and adjust quality (try ~70).

To resize, click Advanced Options and enable [x] Resize. Be sure to also enable [x] Switch Width and Height so it would properly deal with portrait photos.

If you're looking for something simpler, there is Image Resizer for Windows.

Emumovies has a collection of a lot of art, I am not sure if they have a lot of Japanese stuff though.

I use this : http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm to resize photos. It's free and gets the job done very well.

Tedious Method:

• Get yourself a bulk image resizer. Here's one that's free but I've never used it.
• Download all images from server.
• Use the image resizer to save lower quality versions with the same file name.
• Upload.

Hard Method:

• Make child theme.
• Determine the exact sizes you need.
• Overwrite whatever methods the theme uses to resize so that you get what you need.
• Still do Tedious Method.

Beard Method:

• SSH into server
• Write a script to bulk change the images using ImageMagick or something similar.
• Run a cron job to do this periodically.

Other Notes of Interest:

• The number of images on the server does not influence performance.
• Make sure it is images that are slowing you down. Try and find a way to run some performance metrics on the site.
• Look into using a CDN for static content.

You want to have it on your iPhone 6? Then it's easy.

Install "WinterBoard", "Android Solid" and "Android Kit Kat Status Bar" and "Alkaline". All are on the default repos. Then choose the AKK Battery in Alkaline in Settings. Then go to the WinterBoard settings and choose "Android Solid WiFi", and "Android Solid Cell". Back out and respring. You should now have Android-like status bar symbols.

I then installed "Moveable" from this repo. Respring and move the icons where you want in its settings panel.

If you are on a non retina device (like I was with my iPad mini 1), then getting the AKK Battery icon to work is a bit more complicated.

Install iFunBox on your computer, and plug your iDevice in. Open iFunBox, and go to "Raw File System" and navigate to /Library/Alkaline/AKK (Full Color) <or the preset you want to use>. Save the pngs to a folder on your desktop. Then use something like FastStone Image Resizer to resize and rename the images - resize to 50% and give them the prefix "res_". Save them into another folder on your desktop. Note that name.

Then open up "Windows PowerShell" and type

cd Desktop

then

cd <the name of the folder with the resized and renamed images>

then

get-childitem *.png | foreach { rename-item $_ $.Name.Replace("res", "") }

followed by

get-childitem *.png | foreach { rename-item $_ $_.Name.Replace("@2x", "") }

The resources in that folder are now ready. Open up iFunBox again and copy them to /Library/Alkaline/AKK (Full Color) <or what theme you previously chose>. Respring your device and choose the AKK battery in settings again. It should now have an icon.

Are you on windows?

If so, pull the resources from /Library/Alkaline/AKK (Full Color) (or the preset you want to use) using iFunBox. Save them into a folder on your Desktop and use something like FastStone Image Resizer to resize them to 50%. Save them with the prefix "res_" and the same file type, but to an extra folder.

Open up Windows PowerShell and type

cd Desktop

Then type

cd <the name of the extra folder where the resized assets are>

Then type

get-childitem *.png | foreach { rename-item $_ $.Name.Replace("res", "") }

followed by

get-childitem *.png | foreach { rename-item $_ $_.Name.Replace("@2x", "") }

You now have the images resized and renamed accordingly. Now open up iFunBox again and move them into /Library/Alkaline/AKK (Full Color) (or the other presets if you chose something else).

Respring, choose the theme in Alkaline and it should work.

Upps, die Begrenzung ist ja arg tief! Wusste ich gar nicht. Da ich oft Grafiken für Webseiten aufbereite, nutze ich eine lokale Anwendung zur Stapelverarbeitung. Echt nützlich die Software, die sollte auch keine Grössenebegrenzung haben ;)

Software: FastStone Photo Resizer

Thanks for that sugestion. Actually, i tried Converseen earlier today, it almost fits what i need, but it doesnt have the "insert timestamp" feature. I would settle for the possibility to insert a little piece of text on the bottom right corner of every picture, but Converseen cant do that.

As of now, i am using FastStone Photo Resizer via Wine. Its working great.

I am aware that the command line doesnt "byte", and it just takes a little time to understand and love it. The problem is that i needed a GUI because its my wife who is going to do most of the resizing/timestamping, and she will definitely wont use the command line :S

Personally I'd use FastStone Photo Resizer for that. I've found it to be a great program for basic batch conversions and extremely fast. You would add the images/folders to the input list then select "text" or "watermark" from the "Advanced options"- you need to select your watermark image for that option- set the output folder, click "Convert" and the job gets done really quickly.
