Paint works fine.

Paint works fine.

+1 for Paint. You probably won't need anything else.

GIMP will be the best, but you will need to learn it a bit. You can do a lot more with it than just resizing.
Another one you can use is XnView, its also an image viewer. Its actually quite good.

You'll have a lot of artifacts (aliasing) if you use Paint, however you can use Paint.NET.

I won't suggest GIMP cause you asked for light software.

I use Paint.NET and XnView (quite light)

How about the built-in Photos app

It doesn't resize but I like Irfanview's batch conversion feature(at default settings) which reduces photo size with little loss to quality and is very quick. Many times I don't even notice the quality difference although its there.
Actually it has resize feature somewhere but I don't use it, I only use batch conversions.

You can resize with just about any image program but I still prefer Irfvanview IrfanView - Official Homepage - One of the Most Popular Viewers Worldwide if I want a decent rendering. Gimp is good for editing and I think Inkscape is still around if your doing any drawing of shapes/logos etc.

+1 for Irfanview. Very simple for image editing and I also use it as default image viewer.
