It is sometimes necessary to digitally process all low resolution photographs and resize them to some standard resolution. This is mostly the problem with printing your photos. This makes for easier access to them and showing them to your friends.
This is also the case when you have some old photos that need to be scanned improved digitally and reprinted.

It is observed that all the photographs imported from a photo scanner come with a very big size image file. The file is a TIFF file supporting very high quality image resolution and color depth. You may find that your photographs are imported with varying sizes as they might have on actual print. Now it is necessary to resize all those photographs to similar sizes for easy storage and maintenance. I generally prefer to use a free online picture resizer to resize my photo collection. These picture resizing tools make it very easy to resize multiple pictures at once.

An online picture resizer is a free web based service on a website, generally offered with some functionality limitations (picture size limit, file size limit etc.). These tools help you to resize pictures online from wherever you are. It is essentially used by people moving around the world or travelers. You don't need to have a photo editor on your computer or laptop to resize your pictures.

It can be time consuming to use a photo editing software to resize web graphics one by one such as logos, banners and digital pictures, especially if you have large graphics collection. Online image resizing tools are getting popular as an alternative and easy way to quickly resize pictures of various sizes. Although web designers are expert in photo editing techniques and are clear about fundamentals of graphics, it is recommended to use online image resizer to perfectly resize pictures in less time. It has major benefits. You can use it for free and resize multiple pictures at once. Plus it takes no resources from your system it is a web based service so it runs somewhere else and maintained by someone else.

It is necessary to crop unwanted parts from the pictures before resizing and uploading to your website. You can also use online picture resizing tools to crop pictures to required size and then resize if needed at all.

It is also required to maintain high picture quality at various screen resolutions. If you improperly resize pictures with an online image resizing tool then it will make pictures look blurry and lacking clarity. To solve this issue these tools offer preset picture sizes. These preset sizes will help you resize pictures considering the aspect ratio for each picture.
