Eight Ways to Quickly Resize Images

Image resizing tools aren't just for people who don't have Photoshop, or the non tech savvy. I often take screen capture snippets for posting to this blog and if they exceed the width of my content area, I need to resize them.

Online Image Resizing Services:
Original Resizr
ResizR
Image Squash
pxn8
blibs
