I frequently have the problem of needing to resize a photo that I have downloaded from my digital camera.  The problem is that photos that come off of my camera are so huge, and if I try to post them to the web (http://ekfamily.net/gallery/, for example) it takes a million years.  So before I upload the photos to a website I like to resize them to 640×480 or 800×600 so that they can be uploaded quickly, and also downloaded quickly.  I previously used Microsoft’s XP Power Tool Image Resizer.  It is a sweet little utility (you can find it by googling “xp power tools”) that will allow you to right-click on an image (or several at a time) and resize them quickly.  However, currently I am not using a Windows computer (Linux to be exact), so the XP Power toys do me no good.

Well I just found a sweet little site will do the image resizing for me quick and easy.  It is called QuickThumbnail and it allows you to pick the photo that you want resized (or even enlarged) and it will generate it in a flash.  Then you just download it to your computer to the desktop or a temporary directory and boom, you can post it to the web.  Check it out. http://quickthumbnail.com/
