Any recommendations for user-friendly (batch) image resize on Windows?

I’m looking for something easy that I can recommend to clients who are used to chucking full-size images into Wordpress, and is low-cost or even free…

• Ideally I’d like them to be able to specify a specific crop dimensions, or at least widths…
• Even better, would be if it could output multiple custom-set preset widths of an image…
• It should be simple (i.e. clients shouldn’t balk at needing to use it)

Something along these lines (or this) but for windows. I remember seeing a cross-platform program but forget now where! (perhaps it was Fotor but that does more than one needs). Any ideas?

OR: If you have other recommendations I’m all ears.

Can one prepare droplet-style automator scripts for windows to do things like:

• batch export / resize images to certain profile widths / dims including adding a filename suffix on the images and outputting web-safe filenames, perhaps even running through some optimisation algorithm
• web-safe renaming of filenames for uploading, e.g. removing umlauts/accents, replacing spaces, dots etc. with hyphens…

For Windows (and Mac) I recommend to clients Picasa :-(((

Since it’s now unsupported by Google, I saved the 2 last Picasa release.

• Easy to crop, modify the images
• Then put them in a temporary selection
• And export the selection at a particular dimension in a folder.

I remember a friend of mine was once enamored with “7. FastStone Photo Resizer” but I never really used it.
