    Pretty sure IrfanView / XnView might do what you want.

    Re: Thumbnail Application

    Thumbnailer definitely does what you are asking.

    edit: Hmm, I remember it being free... doesn't look like that's the case anymore.

    I imagine you could also do what you want in a few lines of python, e.g. by modifying something like this:

    Code:
    # resize an image using the PIL image library
    # free from: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm
    # tested with Python24 vegaseat 11oct2005
     
    import Image
     
    # open an image file (.bmp,.jpg,.png,.gif) you have in the working folder
    imageFile = "zFlowers.jpg"
    im1 = Image.open(imageFile)
    
    # adjust width and height to your needs
    width = 500
    height = 420
    
    # use one of these filter options to resize the image
    im2 = im1.resize((width, height), Image.NEAREST) # use nearest neighbour
    im3 = im1.resize((width, height), Image.BILINEAR) # linear interpolation in a 2x2 environment
    im4 = im1.resize((width, height), Image.BICUBIC) # cubic spline interpolation in a 4x4 environment
    im5 = im1.resize((width, height), Image.ANTIALIAS) # best down-sizing filter
     
    # Save the output
    ext = ".jpg"
    im2.save("NEAREST" + ext)
    im3.save("BILINEAR" + ext)
    im4.save("BICUBIC" + ext)
    im5.save("ANTIALIAS" + ext)

    I use VSO Image Resizer. It has loads of useful options such as jpg quality (if you want to keep file sizes down) and resize to a specific height or width.
