What is Downsize?

Downsize is a utility that allows you to prepare images for the web by resizing, and adding watermarks, frames, and drop shadows. Batch resize an entire folder of images in bulk to save time. If you have a digital camera and want to reduce file sizes before sending your photographs through email, or posting them on the web, Downsize is the fastest and easiest way to do it. It's also fully integrated with iPhoto, so you can organize your photos there, and process them with Downsize.
