Description

Phorest, developed by FutureFog, is a versatile application classified under the Photo & Graphics category, with a subcategory of Viewers & Editors. The latest version, 8.0.4.15, brings a host of features designed to streamline image management and editing tasks. The program file sizes up to 56.3 MB and is lightweight enough to not strain system resources significantly.

This free software, available for download, comes with two main executable program files: memento_gui.exe, and Phorest.exe. It is designed to run on a wide range of Windows operating systems, including Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Users looking for other versions can also find 8.0, 7.3, and 1.1 of the program.

Phorest offers an intuitive approach to image aspect ratio management. Users can swiftly alter an image or a batch of images' aspect ratio without changing the original pixel count. The tool is excellent for photographers and graphic designers who need quick adjustments. While it doesn’t support simultaneous resizing of multiple images, it simplifies aspect ratio modifications through a selection area overlay. Users can define any aspect ratio by merely inputting two figures, such as 16:9, 4:3, or 2:3. The application also allows you to set parameters like the minimum image size necessary for recognition and whether EXIF information should be retained.

Developed by FutureFog, Phorest not only acts as an image editor but also doubles up as a reliable photo viewer. The primary added value lies in its ability to keep the original pixel size intact while changing the aspect ratio, making it a handy tool for precise image adjustments.

Pros:

  • Freeware licensing makes it accessible to a wide user base.
  • Supports a variety of aspect ratios, enhancing its versatility.
  • Compatible with multiple versions of Windows, from XP to the latest Windows 11.
  • Small program file size ensures it is not resource-intensive.

Cons:

  • Does not support resizing multiple images simultaneously.
  • Primarily focused on aspect ratio adjustments, limiting broader photo editing capabilities.

Overall, Phorest is a valuable addition to any user's toolkit looking for a download that offers both image viewing and aspect ratio editing functionalities without any cost.
