Is there a right-click menu tool to quickly resize images?
hamradio:
Another option: For XP I always used the Microsoft Power Toy Photo Resizer. Right-click on file and resize. Can't get much simpler. And someone has re-invented Photo Resizer for Win7. Seems to work fine.

This is a clone of the Image Resizer Powertoy for Windows XP -- a PowerToy that allows you to right-click on one or more image files in Windows Explorer to resize them. It was created (by me) to extend support to non-XP and 64-bit versions of Windows (including 2000, Vista & 7).

Has anyone written a bit of software where I can right-click on an images file and then hover over a "Resize to..." option (or similar) which then reveals common file size options e.g 640 x 480, 800 x 600 etc and user-defined choices.
I often use software that outputs images to set sizes and I then have to open them in IrfanView and then click the various menu options to get the job done. I already use an old program called Picaview for quick previewing and filetype conversion - it's just missing an option to resize.

I've written a simple program, but it has no context menu integration with Windows Explorer. It's Photo Resizer in this thread. You can drag & drop a photo onto the desktop icon then resize it.
Not quite what you asked about, but it's very simple.
One other thing -- there are no presets. Resizing is visual with the size slider.

Thanks, yes it's not what I asked for but really liked that. It also works well with Quick Cliq. I can't drag an image directly onto the shortcut icon though - is that what you meant? I have to run the app, then drag the image onto the left-hand side.
Nice bit of software which I will use - I certainly know a few people who would like something this simple.

No -- I meant that you *can* drag a photo directly onto the shortcut icon on the desktop. That opens the program with the photo loaded. You then need to either save it resized photo or to slide the slider to resize however you like, then save. Dragging & dropping onto the desktop icon just saves a step, making it a little bit easier.

I thought so but it doesn't work for me - not a big issue as I can start it really quickly and then it's right there for me to use.
