I use it all the time for all uploads on the net Here's a link, click on Image resizer download

I used the powertoy described above when I had XP and was very disappointed that it wasn't available for Windows 7 at first. But now it is - or a cloned version of it, anyway. I have been using it for quite a while and have been very happy with it. The big advantage (and this is HUGE) is that you can select multiple files, right click, and then do them ALL AT ONCE!

Here's one source - http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/releases/view/30247 If you search for "powertoy image resizer windows 7" you will probably find it available other places as well.
