I am working on a project where I need to resize a bunch of raster images from miscellaneous sizes to fit within a certain frame.  More specifically, I need a bunch of icons for an iPhone application and I need them to fit within a 64px by 64px frame.  I found a bunch of Photo Shop scripts, some console apps, and a few spamware solutions.  I figured half an hour and I would have one that works well.  I was right.

So here is how the app works:

Drag and drop the graphics files you wish to resize into the application.  The files will show in the list view area.  Next, enter the Max Height and Max Width values and then click the Resize button.

The application will write the resized file next to your original with _MaxHeightxMaxWidth appended to the filename.  Original files are not modified in any way during this process. 

So if you found this blog post in hopes that you would find a quick and simple image resizer for free, here is the link to the binaries: 

A little about the application source code.  The application is a .NET 4.0 WPF application that follows the M-V-VM (MVVM) design pattern.  Since there is drag and drop support in the application there is a little code behind to support this.  The rest of the application follow the MVVM pattern.

There is a tiny image resizer class in the project that you are free to use.  This is located in the DevSQL.Imaging assembly. 

The source code can be found below.

I love this Visual Studio Extension.  Wanted to keep it in the blog so I do not forget.  Chris also wrote a notepad++ plug-in for the same thing.  Kudos.
