SIR - Simple Image Resizer For Linux

SIR - Simple Image Resizer is a cross-platform and open source software project whose main goal is to provide users with a graphical application for resizing images from the comfort of their GNU/Linux or Microsoft Windows desktops. It is inspired by the well known GTPY - ImageResizer software.

Key features include support for a wide range of image file formats, including · JPEG, JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, XPM, PGM, PBM and PPM, support for previewing and converting RAW images through the DCRaw application (not included - must be installed separately), as well as the ability to rotate images.

The application features an easy-to-use and modern graphical user interface that looks and acts the same on all supported operating systems. To use it, simply load an image folder or just a single picture, select the destination folder, the desired format and the new size, and press the Convert All button.

While the application is written entirely in the C++ programming language, it uses the cross-platform Qt GUI toolkit for the graphical user interface, which means that it’s supported on both GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems.

The application uses the QImage class library to convert the images. It is available for download as a binary file for Slackware and Microsoft Windows OSes, as well as a source archive that allows users to compile and install the software on virtually any Linux distribution, as long as all requirements are met.

Summing up, SIR - Simple Image Resizer is a great little tool for resizing your images in a shortest time as possible and without too much fuss. It is free, supported on two major operating systems, and features an extremely easy to use graphical desktop environment.
