Windows tool to resize / crop images before uploading to web site

Solution 1:

Irfanview supports several image formats and is capable of resizing images to any required dimensions. It's pretty lightweight, and if you need additional formats to be supported, it has plug-ins that can be installed.

Solution 2:

Give Paint.NET a try.

It's more powerful than Paint which comes with Windows XP but not as overwhelming as Photoshop or Gimp. It has similar layout to the older Paint application so users may already know how to use it.

I believe though that it doesn't read EPS format unfortunately, but it should read everything else you need.

Solution 3:

Check out the free Image Resizer PowerToy from Microsoft.

IIRC you can set your own custom size and resize a batch of images with a right click.
