I will see what I can do in java for you.

ACDSee will do it. You can get a 30 day trial download. Works well.

It does batch processing but not sure if it changes formats.

This way uses batch processes so it should run alot faster than alot of the other ways you could do it.

Ok here is how you do it.

First head over to macromedia.com and download a trial version of fireworks mx. Then read this (and sorry if you are on 56K):

Im going to redo it so that people can use it but this was more or less thrown together for you so it doesnt look good and is a masive file no HTML to cut down on the size.

using image magick you could resize ANY amount of pictures as long as they are all in one directory....

for i in *.jpg ; do convert -size 100x100 $i -resize 100x100 uniformsize_$i ; done

I haven't tried converting from one format to another.... but I'm sure it's possible..... The above script creates new images 100x100 .

With fireworks it does both at the same time. I tested the script and it works great.
