Reducing JPG size - Multiple Files at Once

[BigDave]

I have a whole bunch of JPG's that are around 1MB each. Does anyone know of some free software that can do a mass resize of these, so they are suitable to post on the web, etc?

Thanks!

not free - but you can do it in Photoshop

i think you can do this with gimp
that's a free software.

How do you do multiples in photoshop?

You can process a batch of jpgs in photoshop quite easily.

Go Window>Show Actions (dont click Hide Actions... that means it's already showing.)

Actions are like scripts. You can tell photoshop what you want it to do. Then you can tell it to do it a whole bunch of times.

You can figure it out from there.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Now to get Photoshop...

you can do that and more with ACDsee 4.0 and not near the price of photoshop, I think you can even get a demo.

Ah thank you, good tip. That will save me much time.

If you're running Windows XP there is a free PowerToy from Microsoft that will resize any number of graphic files. You can find it here.

Great, that's exactly what I was looking for!
