    I'd really like to upload certain images to places, and I have no idea to quickly mass downsize large amounts of images, because I'm lazy. :( I hate to say it. And well, some places have mass uploading and auto-downsizing, but some places don't have either. *coughfacebookcough Can I have any help with, well, finding some way to downsize quickly?

    If you're using XP, you can right-click on an image (or many images) in Windows Explorer and choose Resize Pictures. You'll get a dialog that probably will do what you need.

    could it be some software that you've installed that provides this functionality? I'm on XP Home SP2 and I can't find that option you're talking about.

    Use Infranview to batch resize images, it works really well.

    How come I can't do this? Do I need a specific version of XP?
