Thin Image Upload is a drag and drop photo uploader with client side image re size capabilities. The new version of Thin Image Upload gives you even more. It’s now possible to watermark images while an interrupted file upload can be resumed from where it was left off.

Quite often Image and Photo sharing websites resize the images to a predefined size after upload completes. But whenever a small image is produced from a large image a lot of data is discarded. Thus an image re size at the server side effectively means you are wasting the user’s time and your bandwidth. Thin Image Upload eliminates that waste by resizing images before they are uploaded. It also eliminates processor and memory consumption on the server associated with a server side resize. Almost of translate into reduced cost of operating the service.

Another requirement of image sharing websites and applications is to add a watermark to uploaded images. Thin Image Upload (version 2.0) can add the watermark before the file is uploaded. You can either choose to watermark the photo with graphic (eg your company logo) or a small item of text (such as your company name). It is also possible to resize and watermark at the same time.

The website owner can choose the image or text used for the watermark along with the dimensions for the resized images. In previous version this data had to be placed in a configuration file. Version two now allows the settings to be directly embedded into the web page that holds the Thin Image Upload applet. This in turn makes it easier to dynamically change settings.

Once the images are watermarked and resized, they can be uploaded using HTTP or FTP. The new version includes an all new progress monitor and you now have fine grained control over the positioning of the progress monitor. Last but now least; if an FTP transfer is interrupted for whatever reason it can be resumed from where it was left off.
