Popular Photo Resizing Website, PicResize.com, Reaches Milestone of 50 Million Pictures Processed

After nearly a decade online, one of the internet’s most popular picture resizing tools has now processed 50 million photographs worldwide.

PicResize.com, a popular online photo editor, is celebrating reaching the milestone of 50 million pictures processed. For nine years the service has helped visitors to easily crop, resize and edit their images. During that time, PicResize.com has been a completely free to use online tool.

PicResize.com’s owner and creator, Nich Wattanasin, says reaching the goal has been a dream come true. “When I originally launched PicResize.com, I never imagined that it would help millions of people and actually resize 50 million pictures. Now, the web site has reached that milestone,” says Wattanasin.

PicResize.com has been on the internet since 2005 but it has continuously evolved over the years, with new features added regularly. Thousands of users visit PicResize.com every day and resize more than 50,000 pictures on average daily.

PicResize.com also offers an array of editing tools and filters, along with the option of sharing images directly to Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. Users are able to upload and edit pictures from their own computers or from the internet. Wattanasin says the service will continue to expand based on the needs of its visitors.

PicResize.com began in a college dormitory, where Wattanasin developed the service to help friends and roommates edit their pictures quickly in any web browser. Now, according to web traffic data analytics service Alexa.com, PicResize.com is one of the top 6,000 most visited websites in the world.

PicResize.com Reaches 40 Million Processed Pictures Milestone

PicResize.com has now reached a new milestone since the company’s inception, almost 8 years ago. Nich Wattanasin, founder of PicResize.com, is proud to announce the website has now processed over 40 million pictures. 

The online photo editor platform, PicResize.com, has recently reached a huge milestone in the company’s history – now processing over 40 million photos to date.

Nich Wattanasin, founder of PicResize.com, has expanded the service based on listening to people’s needs and has found huge success from the word of mouth advertising approach. Since the company’s inception, the website has consistently grown in users and the number of pictures processed.

“Social media sharing has played a huge part in visually sharing pictures,” says Wattanasin. “We wanted to make sure we listened to what people want and watched the online world to make sure we were providing our users with the same capabilities.”

PicResize.com provides users with a plethora of different color editing tools and filters, along with the ease of sharing directly to Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest.

“I’m so happy that PicResize.com has helped so many people and continues to do so,” states Wattanasin, founder of PicResize.com. “Our free service is now resizing more than 35,000 pictures every day.”

The website offers a user-friendly platform to easily upload and edit pictures either from their own computer or straight from the web. Compatible on advanced browsers, such as Safari or Chrome, users have the option to do a “Quick Resize” or edit multiple pictures all at once; anything from cropping and resizing, to adding filters and changing the colors.
