Bulk Image Resizing
Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2008 10:40 pm
UPDATE 2/22/15 : we now host pictures on our forum host. You can post any size photo (no need to resize your photos). If they are large, we post them as thumbnails sized to fit the screen
There was a questions posed to me recently and I had to go look for an answer. The questions was" What is a good bulk photo resizing program?"
I knew I HAD a bulk resizing program on my computer but I normally use Photoshop and resize and crop individually so I had to go on a search. I found this FREE, easy to use, bulk resizer that you can download.
Now this is a basic resizer. No cropping or anything like that. Just make your big pictures into small pictures that you can post on the net.
The link to download the program is: http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize
This page contains all the instructions to use the program and the download link is about halfway down the page.
Here are the basics:
- Download the program.
- The file you download is the program. Put it in a folder on your desktop.
- The file is called PhotoSize400. That means the photos will be resized to 400 pixels wide. If you want to change the size, just change the name. Example: If you want your photos 500 pixels wide, change the name to PhotoSize500.
- Copy all the photos you want to resize into the folder with the program.
- Double click on the program to start it.
- Select all the photos and drag them onto the black program window.
- The resized photos are created in the same folder but have the size added to the name. Example: DSC0017.jpg would be resized and named DSC0017-500.jpg.
- You can then copy your original photos and the resized ones to wherever you want to archive them. This leaves your PhotoResize empty for the next batch.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
