By using the Easy Catalog Images extension you will:
- Get a subcategories listing on any page of your Magento store

- Show categories' and subcategories' images
- Improve visual perception in terms of SEO by adding more links and keywords to the category list

Get subcategories listing on any page of your Magento store
While looking for new products, customers commonly choose from product categories displayed on the homepage. Therefore, we are pleased to offer something more visual in order to encourage them to click. The best way to introduce the wide range of your store products is to display subcategories' block. Easy Catalog Images will help you to place it in Magento using widgets, xml code and default block code. It allows you to place a subcategories listing alongside current top level categories.
Easily create list of categories with images
Easy Catalog Images extension allows you to show already assigned categories images and child categories images on the homepage and on the category page. Please notice, if you assign the image to the category, it will be displayed both on the Easy Catalog Images pages and on the category page of your web-store. So, we offer you to assign categories images to the thumbnail field in order to show all categories' images only in the Easy Catalog Images list block. For better user experience our extension allows to resize image, and to specify the width and the height attributes of the categories' images.
Show categories using Magento widgets
Easy Catalog Images will help you to create category listings by using Magento widgets on any store page according to your requirements. We recommend to use widgets to improve the performance and functionality of your Magento web-store. By using Easy catalog images widgets and Navigation Pro, you can set up a menu with a magento list of categories and images. Parameters of the widget can be configured in order to help you to customize the menu. You can select the number of current categories and sub-categories to be displayed, for instance. You can also specify the size of the image to be released, and the columns count.
Create Magento landing pages
Easy Catalog Images module allows you to add more keywords and links to the category page and also to the magento subcategory grid. It will surely improve your web-site SEO and save users' time. SEO optimized landing pages will give you better sales conversion. Moreover, you'll increase internet search ranking of your website.
List subcategories with limited number of its own child categories
We do understand that every store has a different category tree and each category can have a different number of subcategories. That could cause problems related to formatting the list of subcategories. So, we have added a config option in order to limit the number of maximum subcategories listed below the parent category. Such option allows to create professional looking magento category list blocks.

Exactly what i needed! Review by ruudiie

Great for Resizing category images also Review by SilverFoxUnlimited
Quality Service Design This extension does great as advertised, but also provides a nice simple helper class to re-size any image including category images the same as product images can. The only hangup with it is that if you have a CDN using the sub-domain "media", a string matching function that it uses will match on the domain instead of file path resulting in a 404 error at the expected file path. Works on both CE and EE.

Superb in every way Review by Lida
Service Design Quality This is something I have been looking for, but could not find it. Incredibly useful, and easy to customise. Whether you implement it to work automatically or via a widget.
And I was really amazed by the support I got. Truly outstanding. I could not get it to work right away, but got a response almost right away.
In the end I think I messed up something, but they fixed it in no time. And all this for a free extension!
Hats off for an excellent tool and an awesome support team. -
