    Do you have Photoshop? You can go to image size and then pick the size in pixels or mm etc and it will resize the image. You can then save a copy.

    I use bdsizer - it's portable, very fast, can do batch resize, can specify size in pix and kb, can also sharpen and add frame & copyright.

    you can batch resize in photoshop

    you can actually create a droplet that you can drop a whole folder on it

    and they will output to another folder

    FastStone Image Viewer has a very nice batch resize (and batch all kinds of other stuff too) feature. A great all round viewer too, plus it's absolutely free.

    irfanview does the whole batch thing very well - far more than resize but resize is cool and I noticed it to be really quick - though, I've no other batch resize experience to compare to so can't say it was better/worse than anything else.
