Another good algorithm is "Nearest Neighbor" or merely "nearest". But this one works best if you downscale to 1/2 of the linear dimensions, so it combines 4 adjacent pixels into one.

Nearest Neighbor doesn't combine 4 pixels - it just keeps one, and throws out the other 3. The result may be super-sharp, but the downscaled image keeps the per-pixel noise levels, because no averaging/smoothing happens.

Bilinear at 1/n scales should work like binning/averaging of n*n pixels.
