Open IrfanView and do the following:

  1. File > Batch Conversion / Rename
  2. Work As: check “Batch Conversions”
  3. Look In: Browse to the folder containing all of the images then click “Add All”
  4. Batch Conversion Settings: choose “JPG”, click “Options”, for “Save as quality” choose 65, check “Save as progressive JPG”
  5. Batch Conversion Settings: click “Advanced”,
    1. check “Auto crop borders”
    2. check “RESIZE”, check “Set new size”, for “Set new size to” enter “750” pixels, check “Don’t enlarge smaller images”
  6. Output Directory: create and choose a different directory, e.g.  a subfolder called “processed”
  7. Click “Start Batch”
