Resize Web Based images to Web optimal Size and to your Standard format
 CGI Executable for Windows IIS based servers to resize and reformat images. Save Resized/Reformatted Images to disk or send back to client. The CGI reads image files from the server's local disk or off the web by its URL. Creates multiple sized images when writing to disk in a single process.

See:  urlToFile:: JavaScript for Clients or other Servers to save the generated image to their own disk. Create an image server for your whole organization, have all your applications use 1 image server.

Use this live test to see how it works. Create the correct sized images for merchant web sites. Our collinsPDF (creates PDF files) requires images in Jpeg format, this utility sizes and formats the images as necessary. Having web optimal images enhances the appearance and speed of your site. The preloaded example of LargeImage.png goes from 839K to 8K bytes, or use your own to see the results. (do not batch mis-use this example...)
