The new version released today boasts substantial speed improvements, over the previous version, that support the increasing user base. The product has received great reviews from several online communities.

Adjustable quality makes possible trading speed for better results. This can help under high-load situations and to prioritize user needs. The technology was researched by Reshade and is proprietary.
The web application resizes images maintaining quality. It also crops and augments low quality and noisy pictures. To facilitate online use, the processed images are resized to standard desktop resolutions up to 1900×1200 pixels. It has been named “easy image resizing” by killerstartups.com for its intuitive and simple to use interface.
The online resizer at reshade.com is used to enlarge photos taken with lower resolution cameras like cell phones, resize scans and images from the web, crop and adjust pictures for wallpapers or web use etc. It offers a public gallery where users can display images and a private area to store photos for further use.
