SharpResize overview

SharpResize prepares better thumbnail images, resized uniformly and with a polished look. It automatically makes 2x and 3x versions of the image plus additional custom sizes. It is lightweight, has convenient controls and shortcuts, and produces a more polished result. Now has batch processing.

Many ways to grab your image

Grab from clipboard
Drag to Dock icon, application, or alias
Drag into SharpResize's image well, or
Open with a file dialog

More polished result because it uses Lanczos resampling rather than the more usual Bicubic
Further sharpening can be applied using a luminance sharpening filter which enhances the contrast between pixels without affecting the color information
Simple controls for output size / quality
Controls for exposure, contrast, saturation
A 'single-step' keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-S) to grab the image, process the image, and open the save dialog in one move
2x and 3x images with no extra clicks
Lightweight and fast-loading

What’s new in version 2.3.1

Updated on Mar 20 2020

Version 2.3.1:

Added:

Temperature slider to adjustments, for correcting white balance
Option to custom additional format dialog for resize mode. Instead of custom formats being fixed as either crop or add, they can be set as 'same as main' so they'll get the same treatment (cropped or added) as whatever you've chosen in the interface for the main image. This is the default for that control in the format dialog
Button to adjustment tab, beside the 'reset to defaults' button is a 'zero' button which resets all controls to zero, even if you have custom defaults
