RightSize checks that .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif and *.webp files are the size you expect. By that I mean the size of the images in pixels, not the size of the files themselves in bytes. In particular, you might use it to check that all your PAD icons are precisely 32x32, or screenshots are between 200 x 200 and 800 x 600 or to find all the very large or very small images in your collection. It will also check that files are consistent, e.g. that you have not stored a gif file with a png extension. You can check single files, lists of files and even multiple directory trees. To check a single image file is between 32x32 and 64x64 inclusive , type: java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar 32 32 64 64 lemon.png You can also list several files on the command line: java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar 32 32 64 64 pear.jpg C:\mydir\peach.gif you can check an entire directory of files: java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar 32 32 64 64 . Sorry no wildcards, just . , and .. DON'T USE WILDCARDS unless you deeply understand how they work. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/wildcard.html. Windows expands them, not RightSize, and feeds them to RightSize (or any other program) as a giant list of all the directories and files in the current directory. RightSize will thus tend process all the files in your directories, when you just meant to process the files in the current directory. The -s switch makes all subsequent directories searched recursively to include all their subdirectories. e.g. to check that all files in the directory tree in the size range 16x32 and 128x100 java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar 16 32 128 100 E:\mindprod If you have the jar extension set up as executable, you can abbreviate: C:\com\mindprod\rightsize\rightsize.jar 16 32 128 100 . If you have Jet that will collapse further to: rightsize.exe 16 32 128 100 . It tells you only about the files out of range. If all you want to do is get a list of how big each image is, just ask for limits: 9999 9999 9999 9999 and every image will fail and tell you its size. There is a companion utility called cropper that bulk crops images to a desired size. Why the bowl of porridge icon? It is reference to the children's story Goldilocks and three bears. She tasted the three bowls of porridge, one was too hot, one too cold and one just right. RightSize makes sure images are "just right" too.
