I sooo love Shrink-pic, but once again I have to go without it. When I upgraded to Vista a few years ago, Shrink-pic stopped working. They FINALLY released an upgrade and it worked GREAT once again,,,,,,until I upgraded to Windows 7 a few weeks ago, no more Shrink-pic for me since then. Does anyone know of a similar program out there that will work with Windows 7????
Great app, but does not work with GMail’s ‘advanced attachment features’. Is there a planned update for this? (XP SP3, Firefox 3.6.8)
Wow, that’s the one perfect tool (the feature I’ve been missing in email-programs for years).
Unfortunately, on my machine (XP SP3), 1.8 always crashes, playing havoc with Outlook (2003), crashing thereafter. It happens, when dragging Jpgs on my to-send mail. 1.7 works like a charm but lacks German localisation - a fact that renders it less useful for many of my computer-anxious workmates. Otherwise it would be the ideal addition to our workflow.
Apart from this…
Thanks for a real solution for an everyday problem.
Same as Allen. Shrink pic says it has resized but when sending the email images are at original size.
Running Win 7 Prof and Office 2003 SP3
Hi, this is a great tool, but I seem to have a problem selecting multiple images to upload to a website. Single images work great every time though.
To run through what happens - I select browse to select files to upload, I then use the shift key to select multiple photos (which is allowed on the sites I am using), but it will only allow me to select one image. (running this on XP)
Any chance this will be fixed if this is a bug?
Thanks
I have the same problem as Allen, just bought a new notebook with Windows 7 and Outlook 2007. Loaded Shrink Pic 1.8, seems to work when you compose an email and add attachments, shows the photograph has been shrunk. When you send and it moves to the outbox the photo file returns to the original size.
Loved Shrink Pic when running XP and Outlook 2003, never missed a beat
Hi ,
I just install and test on Outlook 2007, it does show the size is shrink but when sending out, it change to orginal size again.
(Win7 with Outlook 2007)

Installed shrink pic on an XP Pro part of a domain, it only works when run by administrator. Does not work on non admin users. Great tool, but would be even better if it works for all users.
Version 1.4 was the last version to work for non-administrators (that I know of). It is a shame because I can’t use the newer versions. Our domain does NOT allow ANYONE to be an administrator because it is a huge security hole. Otherwise the program is great, but stuck on V1.4
Hello,
I am getting your newsletter via emial. You announced a new Shrink Pic 1.8.0 but no link to download it. There was a link to get to this page where I could let you know…
In regard to Shrink Pic, it is a really excellent and pretty intuative program to use. I am grateful for it because I had no way of sending my photos because they are all 8.1 megapixels (sort-a-huge).
Thanks for Shrink Pic.
Still amazed at the results of the high compression of jpg’s. Size is great, quality and sharpness are excellent, yet the size of compressed pics is small. What a boon for dial-up users especially.
Any chances you will be supporting AOL 10 Desktop? It is currently void of pic resizing ability. I advise such users to use IE instead and AOL webmail. Shrinkpic works fine that way. But it would be nice if ShrinkPic worked with AOL Desktop.
I love ShrinkPic installed beautifully I am using Windows XP SP3 and Outlook Express it works automatically,cute little thing pops up and tells me it has compressed my picture.Thank you this is wonderful.
Hi,
I have been using ShrinkPic since the early release and followed your updates closely.
As a retired IT manager with an International company I really appreciate the software.
I have passed it around all my ex Army colleagues. We have just celebrated our 50th Anniversary of leaving the Army Apprentices College where we all started our military careers. There are over 60 chaps in our group, spread all over the world and at 70 years of age we all find it ideal for photo emailing.
Thanks for making our life so much easier.
Will ShrinkPic ever work with Windows Live Mail Client?
Great program..would love it more if can support for google crome..
anyway can you guys develop shrink it for video content…
thanks..
THE BEST!
thanks for the Shrink pic.i am a photographer and i send lots of images to clients via e-mail. i never have to worry about image size because shrinkPic reduces them automatically for me.
Just tried to install the newest version twice and it crashed both times. Thinking that the old version needed to be exited I tried it again with the same results so I uninstalled the pgm. and re-installed the original version and it works just fine…..go figure. This is on a vista machine 2gb mem intel quad core machine.
Windows has a habit of not releasing files completely after they’re being closed.
To install the new version, best follow this:
* Make sure it’s not running
* Uninstall Shrink Pic
* Reboot
* Download and install the recent version
Of course, if the previous version of Shrink Pic works for you, there’s no reason to sweat. The new version (1.7) solves a problem that existed on most Vista machines with IE7 and Outlook.
One of the most useful programs on my computer. I am a photographer and I send a lot of pictures around by email. Never have to resize anything, I just drag and drop my images in outlook and SP takes care of it for me.
Thank you so much for the update, it works very smoothly.
By the way I have Pic Shrink always running and it works perfectly and automatically in Outlook, I just click on the foto’s I like to send and it autoshrinks.
Thanks
using xp version, loaded on vista/laptop via compatibility option for xp, and xp/desktop. works excellent on all sites i use, forums, hotmail, yahoo mail, all auto shrinks and look just as good as original. excellent program, small to top it off.
use both browsers IE7 / FF, no problems………………………thank you.
Congratulations! Version 1.7 fixed the Vista problems I reported earlier. Good work!
Would really love to hear back from you re why ShrinkPic won’t work with webmail systems AOL, Gmail and Yahoo under IE 7 or 8 unless VISTA’s UAC is turned off.
I do not have this problem when using Firefox.
Thanks.
