Resize, Edit, and Watermark Your Photos [and more!] With Just a Right-click
First, we think the developer could have spent a little more time on naming this application… CoolTweak sounds like a bad-news system tweaker. I think we would have named it “Right-handed Bunny” or “Your Right- Is Left”, “ImageMagic II”. But it’s CoolTweak, and the developer even has a snappy logo and cool “hip” web site. And the program’s installer is a gem. It gives you a quick tutorial after you install it. So, we give this snappy little app the grade of A for what it does and a D minus for its name. But then a rose by any other name…
Enough of this rattle and yammer. Lucky for us, the developer is not shy with words. So, we’re going to let him tell you what “CoolTweak” does. And keep in mind my friends, it does all of this with just a right-click on picture. Good stuff!
Take it away Mr CoolTweak!

Since the program has built-in tutorials and timely reminders to save your settings and your work, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to use the program “right out the box”. [NO EB. It does not come in a box. That’s just a metaphor. It means you can download and install it and use it right away without too much fussing around with instructions. NO that’s not a simile. If I said “It’s mean as an EB” that would be a simile. Ouch! Do not hit me!]
If you often find yourself resizing huge photos from your digital camera so you can email them… or if you upload a lot of photos to share on social media like Facebook or twitter… or if you often need to resize a single image or a whole folder full of images on the fly… you should give CoolTweak a try. It will save you a whole lot of time.

So, if you think you would like the convenience of being able to right-click on any picture and resize it, watermark it, and/or share it, then CoolTweak might be just the tool you’ve been looking for.
It’s free. There are no download tricks or bundled software/malware. Just good freeware. Visit the CoolTweak website to learn more about it – and/or download it.
IMPORTANT:
CoolTweak is a right-click menu enhancement. It’s not a program you click a shortcut on your desktop or Start menu to run. Once you install it, you can right-click a picture and CoolTweak is available from your right-click menu. See the image below:
At the website for CoolTweak, it says you have to be running Microsoft.net framework 4 on your computer to use the program. How do I find out what version I’m running on my computer?
If you’re running Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or Windows 10 you have 4.0 .Net framework.
I downloaded CoolTweak just fine but that was the last I saw of it. Only place I could find it was in my list of programs in Control Panel
Dale, it’s a right-click context menu enhancement, not a program you click and run. Please take a look at the screenshots in the article… particularly the last one. You right-click on and image file and select CoolTweak from the right-click context menu.
Sorry TC, I have to disagree with you on this one. CoolTweak is the perfect name! 🙂
Looks like a fun and useful tool but I personally don’t like the ‘PRIVACY” section of the EULA.
Yep, I read ’em.
I think everyone should, especially the privacy section to see if you agree with what your giving up in exchange for a program or app. Nothing in life is really “free” anymore.
Ever read the privacy statement for Windows? You’re using Windows, right?
Yes I am am as most people do. There are not a lot of options out there for the average home user re: op systems but that doesn’t mean we have keep repeating it voluntarily.
Opposing opinions should be welcomed. Just stating a viewpoint that others may also want to consider but may not be aware of. Voluntarily giving personally identifiable data deserves consideration.
Your opinion is more than welcome. Thanks 🙂
