The Windows XP Power Toy Image Resizer was my favorite all time utility. Sadly Image Resizer is not supported in Windows Vista.

This easily let you resize images to a particular resolution.

You can check out my Windows XP Image Resizer Screencast here.

However I live in a Windows Vista world and I need a replacement.

I looked at a couple of 3rd party applications and have decided that Google’s Picasa does what I need and the added image manipulation features are really helpful.

To resize an image in Picasa:-

1) Highlight the image.
2) Choose File > Export Picture to Folder.

Then you will see this box

Change the resolution example: 640, 800, 1024 or whatever you need.

Microsoft: 0
Google: 1

I will do a Picasa Screencast at some point.
