If you want to upload photo from your digital camera on any of the web portal or social network say Picasa, Flickr, Facebook, VKontakte etc. then you should reduce the size of the same before doing so. This tool is designed to resize images from a folder in batch processing which means you can reduce the size of images in a folder on a single click.
The script itself contains in core.cmd, but you should not invoke it directly. Instead use scripts with pre-defined basic parameters for specific purpose:
- prepare4web - most common parameters for the web publishing
- prepare4vk - for Vkontakte social network
- prepare4fb - for Facebook
- makepreview - do low quality images with watermarking for preview showing
prepare4web <filename or directory name>
Also you can create shortcut to this script and use drag&drop to prepare photos (both single photo or whole folder)
Final photos will be saved in the subfolder naming webNxM, where N and M are dimensions of reduced images
This script requires the ImageMagick package (version 6.9.1-2 or newer is recommended). You can download package from official site
It also use ExifTool to strip final images from unnecessary or unwanted information. Download link
Please unpack or place ImageMagick files into core/bin folder where script is located. Also copy exiftool.exe into this folder.
