SUMMARY: VSO Image Resizer can also add borders, image or text watermarks, or convert images to sepia or grayscale.

Besides resizing images with a choice of filtering algorithms, the software also allows you to add image or text watermarks, plus you can add rectangular borders. Three color effects are supported - invert colors, sepia tone, or grayscale conversion. The software can keep EXIF / XMP information when converting .JPEG images.
