u should be able to batch resize and batch rename files with photoshop

for photoshop
To automate a task by recording an action
When you create a new action, the commands and tools you use are added to the action until you stop recording.
Open a file.
In the Actions palette, click the New Action button , or choose New Action from the Actions palette menu.
Enter a name for the action.
(Photoshop) Choose a set from the pop‑up menu.
If desired, set one or both of the following options
Assign a keyboard shortcut to the action. You can choose any combination of a function key, the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac OS), and the Shift key (for example, Ctrl+Shift+F3), with these exceptions In Windows, you cannot use the F1 key, nor can you use F4 or F6 with the Ctrl key.
(Photoshop) Assign a color for display in Button mode.
Click Record. The Record button in the Actions palette turns red .
Important When recording the Save As command, do not change the file name. If you enter a new file name, Photoshop records the file name and uses that file name each time you run the action. Before saving, if you navigate to a different folder, you can specify a different location without having to specify a file name.
Perform the operations and commands you want to record.
To stop recording, either click the Stop button, choose Stop Recording from the Actions palette menu, or press the Esc key. To resume recording in the same action, choose Start Recording from the Actions palette menu.

Did u write that urself? shock
I use photoshop.
You can also try imageshack to resize.

You can also use the Windows resizer available as a part of TweakUI. It's added to the right-click context menu and if you select an entire folder, it will resize per your directions.

no, that was in teh help menu for photoshop )
i just pasted it

jy3 has it right.

There's a history/actions palette on the right side in Photoshop. There's a button that will create a new "Action" and ask you to name it. Next, simply press the "record" button (small red circle), resize any image image to the size you need, then press the "stop" button (small square) to stop "recording."

Next, go to File->Automate->Batch and select the Action you just created. Fiddle with the other options (such as choosing the folders to save stuff to and renaming the files) and hit OK.

It's much easier to actually do than any explanation can express. (But how about some +karma for trying?) 8)

I use Easy Thumbnails for resizing http//www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/[]http//www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/
