A digital photo frame file resizing application. Format and optimize your digital pictures for your digital photo frame. Avoid black bars, cropped images and fit many more photos into the frame's memory. Preserve and stamp EXIF data onto output. Zoom in on areas of your digital photos for frame display without compromising quality. Maintain settings for multiple photo frames on the same computer. Adjust the output quality to store even more photos on a frame. Digital Photo Frames are great, and becoming increasingly popular. However, typically they come in widescreen (16:9) sizes , which is great for movies, but less great for digital photos which are commonly taken by digital cameras in a non-widescreen format (usually 4:3). This results in the photo frame having to display the image with ugly black bars down the sides, or having to crop the image losing the top and bottom of the picture. FrameSize is an application that allows you to quickly overcome these limitations and produce high quality images from your digital photographs that are formatted properly and perfectly optimised for your digital photo frame. Using FrameSize provides the digital photo frame user with several benefits: The photos being displayed on the frame will be in the correct aspect ratio for the frame; The photos being displayed on the frame will contain exactly the correct number of pixels for the frame, making each image file much smaller than the original - fit many more photos into the frame memory; The photos can be saved with a specified output quality allowing even more photos to be saved on a frame; Multiple sets of options can be saved and loaded allowing several photo frames to be maintained on he same PC; Information about the original photo can be written onto the output image. FrameSize allows these transformations to be performed on individual photos as a one off operation, or on multiple photos if, for example, you need to reformat many photos in one session.

I looked everywhere for a program like this, then Framesize came to the rescue. This is a fantastic program with great flexibility. Set for your frame's pixel count (width & height) and it resizes your photos to that precise size, retaining the originals. Some Tips: To best use the great feature that embeds small, unobjectionable text in your resized photo, edit the filename of the original to contain the text you want in the photo; if you do not, it just uses the photo's file name and camera's do not have very descriptive names! E.g., I put "Swimming in Lake George with Sonny" (no quotes) first in the file name and left the original camera name for tracking purposes. You can insert 8 pieces of information in the photo from the EXIF data that most digital cameras in the last few years automatically add to photos. I used at the top, left justified, Picture Taken Date, Camera Maker, Camera Model. At the bottom, left justified, I used File Name. I played around with the Quality of the jpg resize encoding and found that at 5 or 6 (out of 8), I could not tell the difference - and I am picky. A smaller quality number = smaller file size and if you frame does not mess with it, more pictures can be stored in the frame's memory. Your mileage may vary. The EXIF data is preserved, so you can sort your resized photos by the Picture Taken date. Right click on any column title to add a Picture Taken column to Windows Explorer. Then sort and add the pictures to the frame in Picture Taken Date order if you like to show them chronologically.
