What is Digg?42 Comments
- Vironex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Gotta love that cliche Web 2.0 design.
Beta! - gypsyjoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11My desirable width is 38-26-38.
- jalenack, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Totally lame. Bad resize quality. JPG only. No slick iframe in-page uploading.
- maxdefcon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Why wouldn't you just add this powertoy to Windows XP (If you are on a Mac or use Linux, I can see "sort of" using this)?

Just right-click on the image and resize to what you need. You can also resize multiple pictures at once. - LegendarySock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7and the name... ResizR... just like flickr, and frappr, and the 3245234 other web 2.0 sites that think e isn't good enough.
- Broelke4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7That kinda sucks. A lot.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6"All ResizR images will be deleted once per day."
Would that be as opposed to having uploaded images be deleted multiple times per day? - RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4SWEEEEEET!!!! NOW I CAN UPLOAD MY 10.2 MEGAPIXEL IMAGES OVER DIAL UP, AND RESIZE THEM FOR EMAIL!!!S!!!!A11111
Seriously - not only is this service extremely lame... it's a knock-off of another service that's lame. - Sammy20, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I dont get it?
- peciv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yes... you beat me to it... the XP power toy is one of the most useful little utils out there... it would be nice though if they added cross-conversion technology to it (ie: jpeg --> gif)
- stoavio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Guys, stop hating. It's useful for people who aren't real computer savvy. My mom, for example, who needs to quickly and easily resize an image downloaded for her digital camera would find a service like this extremely useful. Using a web browser (which is all you need to know how to do to use this service) is pretty rudimentary compared to installing and using Photoshop for your image re-sizing needs.
Dugg.
And yes, the design is corny and Web2.0 lame but who cares, it's the service that really matters. - Lemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.iosart.com/firefox/colorzilla/
- jmatthew3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wrote http://www.resizr.com. It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it is useful to someone. Personally, it's not useful to me, and it's not really directed at the digg crowd, who is much more technically sophisticated than the average person. There are LOTS of technically clueless people out there without people to help them even install things on their computer. Why do you think IE is so popular? It just comes with Windows, which means it comes with the computer Joe Six Pack buys at the local Best Buy.
Anyway, I just upped the limits on the upload size to allow bigger images. I can only let it take so much, as I'm running it on a small little personal VPS. Larger images are generally harder to resize because of the amount of ram required. I'm running in 96MB right now on a Xen based VPS. Yes, it survived the digg effect (resizr got dugg separately from this story). - Simus1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1In my opinion, better online alternatives:
PXN8 http://pxn8.com/
SNIPSHOT http://snipshot.com/
My favorite image viewer software:
FASTSTONE IMAGE VIEWER http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm - cyssero, on 04/18/2009, -0/+1@liquidrums - you wouldn't be willing to share that, would you? I could definitely do with a script like that!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have a script in PHP that's real simple. You use to get the server to automatically take the 5 megapixel of a hot chicken, resize it to 25%, and save it in the appropriate place. Alternatively, you can say "hot_chick|125.jpg" to constrain the image to 125 pixels in width.
This works with PNGs, JPEGs, and GIFs with transparency support for PNG & GIF. So far, it's been the most useful script I've created. - vvaduva, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Cmon...what's next, html tag generator?
I would understand digging this if the source was free.....but no way - oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4mac users:

it's lean & it's free. - Pichold, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://resize2mail.com
- xXVirusXx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"All ResizR images will be deleted once per day. So don't even think about hotlinking!"
Try hotlinking one. - kazaru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1marked as Lame. Not hard to write an image resize script, takes only a few minutes in php, I can't imagine it taking any longer in another language. Plus I know web based apps are all the rage but it's much easier/quicker to open an image in a lightweight image app and hit resize than it is to open a browser, go to a site hit upload and wait, just to get a less desirable output
- Milar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's much easier to do this off line. And you don't need Photoshop, there are plenty of free options. XP Powertoys (mentioned above) or Vallen JPegger ( http://www.vallen.de/freeware/#Vallen%20JPegger ) are a couple I've used.
- joshduck, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3www.opera.com
- sk8ar, on 12/01/2007, -0/+1I usualy use http://www.online-resizer.com
- webtech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1BTW: I found about it in here:
http://go2web2.blogspot.com/2006/09/easy-image-resizer-web-based.html - Chives, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thanks, maxdefcon, for sharing that... you just made that website completely obsolete for us Windows users. I love my new Windows powertoy!
- FunnyBunnyB, on 01/03/2009, -0/+0Nice to have ResizR Extension for Firefox
- wigsgiw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Better than nasty resizr.com - accepted 3mb image, whereas resizr.com spat the dummy.
Not good for myself, but for my clients, this will be gold. You know, people who don't know how to use a right click with the Image Resizer Powertoy. - zmigliozzi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1automator anyone?
- michaelyork29, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Once upon a time there was Resizer, a Web 2.0 creation...
Love it! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2This is just rubbish. Why is it on the front page?... Plus it's probably quicker to open up your image in your preferred image manipulation program, resize and save.
As opposed to going through the laborious process of opening your web browser, going to the site, browsing for the image, waiting for it to upload, then saving the result to your hard drive... - nicnic77, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2http://www.photoshoplab.com/web20-design-kit.html anyone?
- maxdefcon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Not hating it... Just commenting... in the comment section of the post. These are just opinions...!
- joshduck, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1**Wrong thread**
- myfanwy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1so who's going to build this in to a FF extension, so when i increase the text size of a page, it matches it with the picture size? i hate the way sites get all distorted - matter of fact, who's going to repalce html/css/js/etc. with something that scales everything cleanly by the same amount?
- UrbanPug, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2I just submitted the REAL resizr, don't allow this knockoff to call themselves resizr.

if you're going to knock something off, at least make it better. (cough netscape) - 21stDigital, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0" ....as opposed to waiting 20 seconds for photoshop to load."
LOL.
Ahh we of the 20 second waiting generation. ***** I could have done something 3 times in that one minute!
-insert old man voice-
"Back in my day we had to wait a whole 21 seconds
You little sissys and your 20 second waits.
ahhh wait a tartin picking minute.. err.. back in my day we didn't have photoshop.
And what's this here computer thing your talkin' about again?"
Just poking fun. I just think sometimes our idea of whats important get a little wierd, but hell I do it to. Dont hate me too much Chris. :) - 21stDigital, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0My problem with something like is this:
You voluntarily upload the image to the them to resize it.
Bingo, they store a copy.
Just make sure not to send anything you wouldn't want your neighbors cat seeing you do.
Personally I think it's a scam place trying to grab "royalty" free images to sell in CD bundles.
Story dugg for for poster though - FutureSandwhich, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Now I don't have to resize my images in photoshop!
- Royal0rleans, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Or once every couple of days
- anamanaman, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2Too many haters here. This tool is pretty simple and works great, with high image quality. I would definately use this as opposed to waiting 20 seconds for photoshop to load.
- UrbanPug, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4This is kind of a ripoff of http://www.resizr.com
