QuickThumbnail is an extremely pared-down online service offering the ability to upload an image and resize, then download the resulting file. Uploaded photos and their resulting copies are kept on the server for only 10 minutes as a security precaution. Resizing options include resizing based on a percentage of the original image's size, using one of a set of fixed sizes, or resizing my a set of "standard" sizes, for example 100x75 for an avatar, or 468x60 for a web banner.

Luckily 250 pixels wide is one of the set values available, so I used QuickThumbnail to make a thumbnail of their own image, and use it in this post, seen at the right. The image quality seems very reasonable, and the process took mere seconds. In fact, I may find myself using this site for more images in my posts, considering how drop-dead simple it is.
