BIRME – Batch Image Resizing Made Easy

The story behind
As a web developer, I often need to resize images into a specific dimension to suit the website’s design. I used to resize images in Photoshop but I find it tedious to record actions again and again for different websites. Besides that, Photoshop is not cheap and not everyone has a (legal) copy. I tried some existing software but none of them satisfied me. Therefore, I decided to write one myself .
I’ve been searching and testing with many different platforms to develop it, C++, Java, Python and Perl. None of the above can achieve what I wanted, a single executable file without any extra libraries or dll files, no installation required. Finally I landed on PHP and I used bamcompile to generate an executable file. I still have troubles to get a Mac or Linux version of any PHP compiler to work. I may re-use my C++ code for Mac in the future and wrap it up as an .app.
