oh I needed one too and found [advanced jpeg compressor]
I needed something that could mass resize files for all my scans folder to use them easily as wallpaper so they wont kill my wallpaperchanger with ram ...oh well that's my life sorry...
anyway it's not perfect and photoshop is far better for preserving sharpness when you resize, but it's nice for mass resize.

Your best bet is by far IrfanView. You can get it at www.download.com

Well Ive never used IrfanView... but I found the Image Resizer Powertoy very useful and simplistic to resize large groups of photos:

Seconded. Just set the resampler to Lanczos and enable resampling under Adv. Options during batch jobs.

xnview ftw, best all-around photo viewer. (faststone has some nice stuff though.)

Great batch convert/editing mode, too.

I agree, even if I didn't know Xnview had a resize batch processing... now I ll stay with it.. irfan view isn't as good. just try both you ll made your mind.

Just looked over XnView. Definitely more options than IrfanView, but much more cluttered as well as being more CPU and memory hungry. And its lacking in some areas such as customizability for built-in functions, like which resampler you want for on-the-fly image operations.
