Irfanview has a built-in batch conversion tool

File > Batch Conversion/Rename

Select your images and click "add"

In the "Batch conversion settings" group, click "advanced"

Check "RESIZE" and either set by a specific width or height, or set by percent. Percent is better if you have images that are both in the landscape and portrait orientations in the same batch.

Click ok

For "output directory for result files" select where you want the newly created images to be saved.

Then, click "Start Batch".

Irfanview is nice piece of software for basic image manipulation. I use it for small changes since you can do them in half the time that takes to load Photoshop. – Alberto Martinez Nov 20 '10 at 21:32

The ImageMagick tools will have a couple of tools that can do this. You can then call the Mogrify command to do these exact things.

$magick> mogrify -resize 256x256 *.jpg

$magick> mogrify -resize 50% rose.jpg

$magick> mogrify -format jpg *.png

Etc

As big a fan I am of the command line I am, for batch image resizing I like Irfan View. It's super easy to use and very well documented.

The best part? Not only can you resize images, you can rename them at the same time. I use it all the time at work.

Another very similar tool is XnView. – Jamie Schembri Nov 20 '10 at 19:43
Seems so. The only complaint I can lodge against IrfanView is that the GUI is a bit dated. This one seems very similar indeed. – Eli Gundry Nov 20 '10 at 19:45
