IrfanView is a very fast, compact and innovative graphics viewing and editing program for Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista. It is free for non-commercial use and is on the Approved Software List. IrfanView is simple for beginners and powerful for professionals.

In the following tutorial we describe a procedure to resize and rename a number of files to be ready for uploading to Pixbird.
If you just use an iPhone you don’t need this procedure. However, using more powerful cameras the file sizes will get quite large and therefore the upload time is extended. Since Pixbird does not keep large files und is going to resize your pictures anyway it is a good idea to resize the photos at your end and before uploading.
Step 1
Open Irfanview and select the “File” button at the top of the screen. Next select the “Batch Conversion/Rename” option to open the Batch conversion window.

1. Select the folder with the images you want to prepare for Pixbird (be sure to keep the original images in a separate folder)
2. Select “Add all”
3. Click the “use this directory as output” button (if you prefer to select a different folder to write the reduced size images to, select the “Browse” button and do so).
4. Be sure the “Batch conversion – rename result files” setting is selected (if you like to keep the original file names select “Batch conversion” instead).
5. Name pattern: Select “Options”
Step 2
The following window will open for batch conversion. At this point you will have six (6) settings to check.
