Shrinkit for Windows Phone 8, an easy way to down-size your photos

Shrinkit

If yous have the need to downwardly size photos on your Windows Phone 8 devices, Shrinkit is an easy way to go about it.

For example, you've downloaded your high resolution, DSLR images to SkyDrive and demand to email a lower resolution copy. You're on the road, hundreds of miles from the nearest computer and all you lot have is your trusty Windows Phone. Enter Shrinkit.

Shrinkit has a simple user interface and saves resized images as a split paradigm file then you lot won't lose the original. Not everyone may find a utilise for Shrinkit just for some, information technology could come in handy.

In one case you launch Shrinkit, all you need to do is select the image from your Pictures Hub to resize and then you'll be sent to the settings folio. Hither you can resize your image past sliding the superlative adjustment bar to shrink your paradigm by percentage or enter the exact pixel dimensions in the fields. If you demand an odd sized image you can turn off the aspect ratio. There is likewise a field to set the goal prototype file size but I didn't have any luck using that option.

In one case you've got the size only right you can relieve the re-sized image to your Saved Pictures folder, save and share the epitome, or reset everything and showtime from scratch.

Shrinkit is a nifty little re-sizing tool for your Windows Phone but there is some room for improvement. While Shrinkit does display the original image resolution and the new resolution it doesn't display the new file size. There you lot have to guess. If you have a 2500kb image, downsizing information technology l% should resize it to 1250kb. Only it tin be tough to calculate a 42% reduction of a i.3MB image while on the run. It would exist nice if yous could see at least an estimated new file size.

Keep in listen, Shrinkit does not crop your prototype. It only adjusts the resolution or image size.

Shrinkit is a costless app for your Windows Phone eight device that yous tin can find here in the Windows Telephone Store.
