Each time a user wants to perform various rather simple operations with graphical files, whether he wants to convert image format, change image dimensions, change picture background, rename a whole batch at once, etc, he has to appeal to various graphic software that perform different editing tasks: an image editor, an image converter, image resizer, batch image resizer. A lot of time would be spared if there were a photo editor that would be capable to perform all these actions. Lightning Image Resizer is this kind of photo editor which can perform all the basic operations you need when you edit your casual photos in order to share them with friends on Facebook, Google + or upload them to Picasa Photo Albums.

Lightning Image Resizer is a freeware graphic utility that you don’t even have to install on your computer. You just can carry it everywhere with you: at your friends’ and parents’ house, at work, etc, on a memory stick or CD. It won’t occupy all your space there, that’s for certain, because it has only 546 kb.
