What Light Image Resizer is
Light Image Resizer is a Windows application for resizing, compressing, and converting individual images or batches. Batch jobs use presets, dimensions, and quality controls. It can also rename and sort files, add watermarks, create collages, and make PDFs from images. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, WebP, HEIC, and camera RAW formats; AVIF requires a free plugin. Windows shell integration adds image profiles to File Explorer’s context menu, including in Windows 11. The bundled Light Image Editor has an AI Vision feature that can use Google Gemini or OpenAI ChatGPT with a user-provided API key and pay-as-you-go billing. For image analysis through those services, the application resizes and sends the image to the cloud; ObviousIdea says it does not store a copy and recommends Ollama with a local model for fully local processing. A free plan and trial are available. The listed Light Image Resizer 7 license costs 24.99 USD once and covers one user; a license can be used on up to two computers owned by that user.
