A tool that can help us to treat images in a different way is the one that has the name of Paint.net, which is really exceptional and that has been proposed to work in different versions of Windows mainly. With her we would have a powerful application with functions very similar to those with which you work for graphic design, something that is exceptional if we consider that this application can be used completely free. Now, if you don't need an application that is so professional, sophisticated or with panels that are too complicated to handle, we recommend that you use Ice Cream Image Resizer, which is handled practically by itself when resizing one or more images.
