What do you like best about Resizing.app?
Here's what I liked the best about Resizing.app:
1. Free: The app is free; there is no need to purchase anything. While the competition charges money in the form of credits or regular subscriptions, this one is 100% free.
2. Privacy-friendly: You don't even need an email address to use Resizing.app. All the files are stored locally in your browser for maximum privacy. Plus, they have clearly mentioned on their website that they don't sell user data to make money.
3. Supports a lot of image formats: Resizing.app supports a lot of image formats, like BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and so on. As a user, I would say that these formats should be enough for most users. Plus, you can convert your images to three formats: JPEG, PNG, and WEBP, which is nice.
4. Easy to use: This is undoubtedly the easiest app to use to resize photos. You can resize by width and height, or you can do it manually via sliders. You just need to tweak three options, and now you have the updated image.
5. Optimization: This one exceeded my expectations. If you keep the optimization high, the image quality remains unchanged at the expense of image size. But the image just looks resized with no loss of details at the highest optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Resizing.app?
Resizing.app isn't perfect. Here's what I didn't like:
1. Useless extension: The extension does the same job as that of the website. Nothing extra. I was expecting to be able to download images from websites like Unsplash at the resolution of my choice, but that's not the case. It just adds a layer of convenience, nothing else.
2. Outdated: The project seems to have been abandoned. The website is functional, although the extension was last updated in 2020, and due to newer tech, it occasionally throws in some errors. The last blog was published in 2020.
3. Bad design choices: The text seems to be too small, both on the website and the extension. There's no dark mode, and colors could have been more subtle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
