Here the program shows how many kilobytes you saved or gained by converting your picture and how fast it changed (ours converted instantly). Our fear is that users will alter a picture in ways they don't intend without a preview option.Īfter our image was converted we stumbled upon VSO's lone positive surprise, a screen detailing your conversion.

VSO Image Resizer doesn't offer any way to preview the changes you are making, but makes sure you are informed that these are permanent changes. Adjusting pictures was eventually figured out through trial and error, but could come at a serious cost to some users.

Not only are the options for adjusting picture size and save location less than intuitive, we found no Help file to hold our hand through the learning process. The simple-looking screen morphs into something far more complicated as option boxes expand with more confusing command choices. However, a little playing around soon shows that users are in a canoe without any paddles.

This free program initially impresses with a colorful screen that looks professional and simple to navigate. With a simple, yet directionless, interface, pictures can be reorganized and resized to meet needs, but comes with a risk. VSO Image Resizer helps users deal with the massive amount of space photographs can take up on a hard drive.
