FastStone Photo Resizer
What it is
FastStone Photo Resizer is a Windows program for batch image conversion and editing. It can rename, resize, crop, rotate, and change the color depth of images. It loads JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PCX, TGA, WMF, EMF, ICO, CUR, PPM, HEIC, and WEBP files, and saves JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. Batch jobs can apply color or border effects and add text or watermarks. For file names, it supports sequential numbering and search-and-replace. Users can preview conversion and renaming, and save or reload options. Multithreading processes multiple images simultaneously, though batch automation is manual. It comes as an installer, ZIP package, or portable edition that runs from any folder without installation. HEIC support requires Windows Imaging Component codecs on Windows 10 or 11. The free plan is for personal and educational use; paid plans start at $19.95.
