INPUT FILE FORMAT / OUTPUT FILE FORMAT
|
By default, QuickResizer is set and optimized for processing JPG/JPEG files. You will
get the best picture quality when both your input and output files are JPG/JPEG format.
Nevertheless, QuickResizer supports five graphic file formats:
- JPG/JPEG
- GIF
- PNG
- BMP
- TIF/TIFF
QuickResizer is not case-sensitive and recognizes different file format naming
conventions (JPG/JPEG, TIF/TIFF). Please note that QuickResizer doesn't support resizing
of multi-page TIFF or animated GIF images. It only resizes the first frame of the image.
The rest of the frames will be lost.
By default, your resized pictures will be named with a suffix of "_Small". For example,
the original picture Vacation.JPG will be resized into a new picture named
Vacation_Small.JPG. You may continue using this default suffix, enter a new one, or
leave the option blank. When blank, your output file will have the same name as your
input file.
By default, quality is set to High. While pictures created in Low and Medium
require less disk space, this benefit is typically offset by the reduction in picture
quality. For most purposes, it is recommended that this option remain set to High.

After pictures are resized, QuickResizer will automatically start Windows Explorer and
display the new pictures within the Processed folder. By default, this option is set to YES.
If you would like to disable it, simply select NO.
QuickResizer resizes pictures in proportion to the original width and height. It will not
stretch pictures out of proportion. Any leftover space will be replaced with a white
background. To change the background color, click the Modify Color button. A color palette
appears. Select the desired color and click OK. QuickResizer will save and remember this
setting for future use.
