I downloaded Shrink Pic and it works exactly like it says it does. Its free which is always nice and there is a cool demo that shows you exactly how to use it. Shrink Pic runs on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Today's high resolution digital cameras produce multi Megabyte photos. These are great for printing but cause a heavy burden when sending over the Internet.

Shrink Pic allows you to send dozens of photos as email attachments - quickly and with no effort at all!

All you need to do is install Shrink Pic. It automatically detects when you're sending large photo files and compresses them in the background.

There's no setup, no operating instructions, nothing, nada. Just send your photos normally and Shrink Pic takes care of shrinking them.
