Increasingly, sharing photos on the internet is becoming more and more popular. Photos, represented as JPEG files from digital cameras, taken at high resolutions are far too large to send over the Internet, with some photos ending up at 5 mega bytes. Uploading one photo to a photo sharing website is fine, but 10, 20, or even more, this can take forever, especially on a dial-up connection.

With Fotosizer, you can shrink JPEG image files, along with other supported formats, and dramatically reduce internet transfer times, enabling you to quickly and easily prepare your image collections to be published on the web.

Help unlock the photos from your digital camera. Use Fotosizer to batch resize your photos making it easier and faster to email to friends, upload to photo sharing websites or upload to websites that offer photo printing services.

Fotosizer lets you resize in 3 easy steps, allowing you to choose the photos you want to resize, the dimensions, and where you want to save the new photos.

Free Image vectorizer from Autotracer

You can use this Autotracer to convert raster images into vector graphics. This process is called tracing or vectorization.
Tracing can be done by hand or you can use a tool which does this cumbersome job automatically. But usually some post-processing is necessary.
Most auto-tracing tools cost a lot of money, if you do not need them regularly this tool is an option.

Why should you vectorize an image?

In a raster image each object is represented by a pattern of dots. Raster images are good for photographs and images with color gradients or subtle shading. Disadvantages of raster images are that they are not resizable without losing quality.
Vector graphics can be scaled to any size without any loss in quality. Graphics best suited for the vector format are Logos, page layout, type, line art or illustrations.
