Live preview
See the processed picture and its file size before a single file is written
Originals safe
Results are always new files; a source image is never overwritten
Multi-threaded
Several CPU cores process several pictures at once
Image work should not be manual labour
A wedding shoot with 800 photos, 300 new product shots for a marketplace, a website asset library to recompress: open, resize, save as, rename, repeat. Picture Resize Genius turns that afternoon into two steps: set your rules, then click Start.
Hundreds of files, each opened, resized and re-saved by hand.
How Picture Resize Genius helps
Drop in a folder, set the rules once and process the whole batch in one pass.
With no preview you only find the mistake after processing, then start over.
How Picture Resize Genius helps
The preview runs the full pipeline and shows before and after dimensions and the estimated file size.
One careless Save on the original and a photo without a backup is lost for good.
How Picture Resize Genius helps
Results are always written as new files, with an automatic (1), (2) suffix on a name collision.
Camera RAW, phone HEIC, web WebP, design PSD: every format seems to need a different program.
How Picture Resize Genius helps
Reads 150+ formats and writes 60+, so one window covers them all.
Photos carry GPS location, camera model and timestamps, and you notice only after sending them.
How Picture Resize Genius helps
One click strips EXIF and XMP metadata, including the embedded thumbnail.
Privacy, confidential images and slow connections all become concerns.
How Picture Resize Genius helps
Everything is processed on your own PC. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
Up and running in three steps
The window has a toolbar on top, three tabs on the left (Size, Watermark and Output), the preview in the middle and a big Start processing button at the bottom.
Click Add Images or Add Folder, or drag files and folders into the window. The program reads 159 image formats, including camera RAW, and shows thumbnails along the bottom.
Choose your rules on the Size, Watermark and Output tabs while the preview updates live, so you always see the final result.
Confirm the output folder and click Start processing. Your originals are left unchanged.
See it before you save it
Picture Resize Genius moves that risk to the front.
The preview actually runs resize, watermark, output format and quality, so what you see is what you get.
Dimensions, format and estimated file size of the original and of the processed picture, side by side above the preview.
Toggle between Original and Processed to look at the same detail, and zoom in.
Page through the photos and remove any picture you do not want, then press Start processing.

Watermark
The watermark is part of the live preview, so you can judge the placement before you process.
Formats and output
Smart renaming
Speed, by design
A multi-threaded pipeline uses several CPU cores to process several pictures at once, Windows fast-path decoding makes thumbnails and previews load quickly, and the industry-standard ImageMagick engine gives broad format coverage and consistent results. The 64-bit edition handles larger images and larger batches; the 32-bit edition keeps older machines covered.

FAQ
No. Output is always written as new files, and the program never overwrites a source image, even with Overwrite existing files turned on. Name collisions get an automatic (1), (2) suffix, so nothing is clobbered.
No. All processing happens on your computer: no uploads, no cloud queue and no account needed to get work done. The internet is used only to activate a license.
Yes. It reads RAW files from Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Leica and other makers (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, DNG, ORF, RW2, RAF, PEF, X3F and more). RAW cannot be re-saved as RAW, so exports are converted to JPEG automatically, or saved in whichever output format you choose.
Only shrink, never enlarge is on by default, so pictures that are already smaller than the target stay as they are and never turn blurry. Turn it off in the Size tab if you want upscaling.
Yes. The preview runs the full pipeline (resize, watermark, output format and quality) and shows the before and after dimensions, format and estimated file size. Toggle between Original and Processed to compare the same detail, page through the photos and remove any picture you do not want in the batch.
It reads more than 150 formats, including JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, AVIF, TIFF, PSD, GIF, BMP, SVG, PDF and camera RAW, and writes more than 60, such as JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PSD, PDF and JPEG 2000. You can also keep each picture in its original format.
If the files are online-only, they have not been downloaded to your PC yet. Make them available offline, or copy them to a local folder, and add them again.
Yes, with Remove EXIF information it strips EXIF and XMP metadata (camera details, GPS location and timestamps) in one go. When you keep the metadata, the embedded EXIF thumbnail is removed so that a cropped or watermarked picture cannot leak the original through it.
Install the 64-bit edition on 64-bit Windows: it handles larger images and larger batches. The 32-bit edition keeps older machines covered. Both have the same features, and it needs Windows 10 or later with .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later.
The trial lasts 15 days with the full feature set and needs no account. After it ends you need to activate to keep processing images; the limit is lifted as soon as you do.
If something does not work, or you have a suggestion, send us a message or an email.
Normalise hundreds of pictures to 800 x 800, 1920 pixels wide or an email-friendly size: choose the size, fit mode and quality, check the estimated file size in the live preview, rename the files and press Start. Originals stay untouched.
