Updates based on your feedback

We have received a lot of valuable feedback from many of you since PicResize.com's relaunch ten days ago! As a result of those excellent suggestions and comments, the following changes are now available:

  • Quick Resize changes: We have added Rotate my picture to the Quick Resize menu, allowing you to optionally rotate your picture 90 degrees clockwise, counterclockwise, or 180 degrees upside down
  • "Remember my settings" feature: Also in the Quick Resize menu, you'll find a Remember my settings for next time checkbox that allows you to save your last quick resize settings. When you return to PicResize.com, your preferences will be automatically loaded in the Quick Resize menu for your next picture
  • Resize Multiple Pictures / Batch Resize fixed: We have fixed a few bugs which should make the Batch Resize feature more stable. You'll also find a more prominent Multiple Pics link from the main page directing you to the Batch Resize feature
  • Minor bug fix:  We have fixed an issue encountered when uploading really large pictures. Uploading large pictures (up to 100MB) should be more stable now

Thanks again for your continued support and please let us know what new features you'd like to see at PicResize.com. Your feedback is extremely valuable!

PicResize relaunched today, many new features

You've probably noticed a few differences this evening at PicResize.com. We've officially relaunched with an updated version of PicResize packed with a number of new features. I'll outline the major ones below and leave you to find the other ones yourself!

  • In addition to uploading pictures from your computer, you can now load them directly from online or paste them from your clipboard
  • As mentioned earlier, drag an image file from your computer directly onto the PicResize home page is now possible with HTML5 support
  • Expanded editing tools: besides cropping and rotating, feel free to flip your image horizontally or vertically
  • Updated special effects: many new filters with sample previews in case you forget what each one does
  • New Save function allows you to specify a maximum file size that you want your image file to be in kilobytes--easily conquer those pesky limitations of "image must be below X kilobytes" that you see around
  • Completely revamped Save to Web feature now allows you to easily host your picture directly with PicResize (for free, of course!), and optionally share on your favorite social networking site such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and more
  • Last but not least, we've added a selection of tools to assist your use of PicResize such as the Help center with tutorials, custom and advanced linking for Webmasters, and even a PicResize Bookmarklet browser-plugin to send any picture on a web page directly to PicResize.com!

As you can see below, we have come a long way since 2005...

...all the way to today's relaunch of PicResize.com:
So, please let us know what you think of the new site by e-mailing your feedback, comments, or questions to support@picresize.com. Thank you for your continued support!
