Want a photo album?
If you want to generate an HTML photo album, then see
album instead.
album does thumbnails and album generation.
What is it?
A thumbnail generator that can maintain aspect ratio while
constraining size of thumbnails (In other words, all the thumbnails
are the same shape, but they aren't stretched funny).
This is accomplished by cropping after resizing. This trick
actually worked much better than I expected, since the subject
of most photo album pictures is often near the center square
of the photo. I only have one or two thumbnails in my photo
album that have chopped someone's head off, and it's worth
it to me to not have to generate thumbnails by hand.

Here are three 100x100 thumbnails for different aspect photos:
