Are you resizing because they are too big and go over the 4mb limit facebook sets or just resizing so they cannot be reused? There are several ways to do either. If it exceeds facebooks 4mb limit you could crop the photo. If you want to resize them so others can't take them then I would go into and image editor and drop the image to 72 dpi or (is it ppi) so that it cannot be copied or or printed in a quality that would be any good. Many of the post processing softwares offer the ability to to do batch processing so you should be able to do all of them at once.

what photo editing software are you using. FB will resize automaticaly for you, but if you are like me, I like to have full control so I resize and sharpen for fb myself.

FB has terrible compression issues and most photos look nothing like their real quality if you let FB compress and resize for you. Plus their colour space SUCKS.

I have found that most Photo Edit programs will do the job nicely, but if you want a quick way to resize a number of pics I prefer FastStone Photo ReSizer. Just search on Google, it is a totally free program

MCP has a nice facebook resizing action for Photoshop and Elments. It's one of their FREE actions. It works great.
