Online Image Resizing Blog

I’ve just implemented a “new look” for resizr.  It’s been said that the site’s ugly, and I’m trying my best to come up with something that is both functional and elegant.  Also, I’ve just added two new functions — sharpening and sepia tone.  Sepia tone “colors” an image to look “old timey” — some people think it’s cool.  However, the really useful feature is the new image sharpening feature.

I’ve implemented “unsharp masking,” which is a technique by which images are made to appear less blurry.  This is especially useful when shrinking an image, as the shrinking process can cause some blurring.  I’ve put a decent explanation of unsharp masking and how to use the feature in the faq.  Click here to read the faq about unsharp masking.

I’m working on giving people the ability to crop their pictures to particular sizes.  For example, 4×6.  What sizes do you want to crop to?  Of course, I’m going to let you specify the exact size you want, but I’m putting some pre-set options in, too.

As of now, Resizr can rotate your images!  This is not a huge feature, but it does help some people who needed it.

Images can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counter clockwise, or made upside down.

Also a minor fix: when images are scaled larger than 800 pixels wide, the image will not overflow outside of the 800 pixel html element it’s placed in.  This fixes a strange bug for users of IE who were having the image overflow rescale other bits of HTML, making the slider widget work in a “not so smooth” manner.

I hope to continue to add more features as time allows.

Happy Resizing!

New Feature!  Now, you don’t have to have an image on your computer to be able to resize it with Resizr.  You can provide Resizr with a URL, and the software will fetch the image from a website for you, and give you the ability to resize it!
