- macmost.com/e-2840 If you want to share a photo from your Photos Library or a file on your iPhone or iPad, you can use this Shortcut to resize it and convert it first. A very simple Shortcut can be used to do it for one photo, and a slightly more complex one can do it for multiple photos.
See the post at macmost.com/e-2840 for images of each Shortcut and a download link.

This video was extremely helpful. I'm a computer graphics professional, and not being able to resize images directly on my iPhone was getting old. Your tutorial was straightforward and clear without any unnecessary padding. Thank you so much!
A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Great topic today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️
This was amazingly helpful! Thank you.
If you are doing large amounts of photos you have to go to the settings and scroll down to the shortcuts setting and change it to allow you to share large files or you will get a message not allowing it.
Most helpful RUclips video I have ever watched in my life and so thankful it popped up on google. Also very well made and very well explained. Thorough. I really appreciate this video. Thank you!
Wow - so cool. This is what I was looking for a very long time! Thank you so much!
Your videos are so clear and simple. What a wealth of information! Thank you for sharing these!
Thank you very much, I've spent 2 hours earlier trying to resize a 1.7 MB photo to a 300 KB jpeg using both iphone and mac and it was a nightmare aaarrrgggh However my wife found your video which explains the sequence of actions using the shortcuts app on my iPhone. Brilliant! and the calm and clear explanation in a relaxed way by you really helped.
Thank you!!
Gerry
Thanks Gary!
Excellent!
Nailed the shortcut. And I’m an old guy. Would never made it without your tutorial.
Exactly the information I needed. Thank you so much!!
Awesome instructions and screenshots!!! Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I am a new iPad user and have been looking for a way to resize my photos to use on my blog. This is just what I needed!
Thanks for the great walkthrough! When you're new to how the Shortcuts app works, everything seems so gnarly! You "ungnarled" it for me!
wow this was so incredibly helpful, I had no idea you could do this! thank you!
This was very helpful, thinking to created for PDF files as well, thanks for sharing
This was super helpful and did exactly what I needed it to do! Thank you so much for this video!
Hi! Thank you for the video! It's a really useful shortcut!
Thanks you sooooo much!!! So much better then other options out there 🙌🏻
This helped me so much. I post on different social media sites and each has different requirements for minimum/maximum image size. This saves me so much time.
Thank you. Very helpful tutorial.
Many Thanks! Excellent tutorial ! 😁
This is awesome, Thank you very much! This saves me so much Time!!
This is fantastic. Thanks for the great video☺
I love your videos, You are the best!
Kudos !!! A great step by step video that helped me figure out how to resize my photos easily. Thank you best info video I’ve seen in a while !!!
Can't thank you enough, very helpful!
Great Shortcuts-tutorial! 👍
Thanks! A very usefull diy shortcut action without installing a special app (with ads 🙂).
Ads I hate them
Bought some cat games for my cats suddenly they’re full of ads I cannot believe it. I would think if you purchase these games no ads
My cat has given up on her fishes, still watching the mouse
I learn today to watch the whole video first before attempting to do the edit…I had to slow the vid down Its very handy, will see if I can do simple editing using this short cuts
Amazing! It works! Deserves a sub 👍🏼👌🏻
Brilliant video... I was pulling my hair out with the new ios 16 update, after it broke my image resizing shortcuts and this has sorted it, pure and simple!
Thank you for your help!
I mean, WOW! Not being a coder or something cool like that myself, this was the COOLEST thing that I have ever done with my iPhone!!! Great video, perfect instruction and it totally works so I can now send snaps to people who don't have iPhones (format issues). I am now on the hunt for other MacMost videos cuz, um, coolness!!!
Incredibly useful shortcut thank you Gary
Thank you! That's exactly what I needed.
Thank you so much! I had one additional step I had to take on my XR, I had to turn my phone off and back on before the shortcut would show up as an option in the photo app. I had stopped sending imbedded photos in emails because of sizing so, again, huge thank you for this excellent video.
Thanks man awesome video very helpful👍🏾
Superb! SO helpful.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for the help !
This was awesome. Thank you.
Wow! Awesome shortcut! Thanks 😊
I can’t describe how much this video is useful for me, thank you soo much
Brilliant !! Thank you
Any way to resize for a desired print size? For example, I want to print a CD cover but it prints bigger than an entire Letter-sized page. A standard CD cover is 120x120mm but the pixels to achieve this size would obviously depend on the DPI of the image and printer. If I could specify the print size as 120mm regardless then I’d be all set.
Wow, this is amazing!!! Thank you! Now I can print my iphotos in 4x6 format without losing half the pic!
Love the video ❤
OH this is so good. I really did a stupid workaround before, but this is so handy! Thanks so much for these shortcut videos 😍
Great learning lesson on creating short cuts! I did have to sloooow down your rate of speech and that worked out great. It felt kinda like programming in old BASIC. Assembly is what I love most, but after a couple days I got it.
I kept messing up because I didn’t notice the blue DONE bar that would appear at the top of the screen, that required my selecting it after some of the, I believe were, variable changes.
Thank you very much for your tutorial, it’s very good. 🤝
Thank you very much! It was amazing! 🇧🇷
Initially, I was going to make a comment about why it’s such a long video for such a simple task. But I had no idea you could build such complex actions, very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Well done!
You are genius! Thank you a lot!
This is amazing it helps with my album cover
Thank you 🎉😍
thank you for your useful video from Korea 👍
Krazy! Pixel 2 lifetime android user got my first iphone 13 last week. Followed all steps and told my brother about this and will share the video with him. THANKs! 3.8MB squashed to 640xauto down to like 150 KB and still looks decent (on a small phone screen).
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
thank you so much got like and subscribe from me.
you are a star ⭐️
That was epic thank you! Any ideas on the best way for me to share the resized pics to my iPad. So I don’t sync apples photo album across my devices at all because I don’t want my personal photos on my work stuff (laptop; iPad). But it would be epic if, when I go to a building site and take like 300 photos (always on phone), if a resized version of only those photos could make it onto my iPad where I’m making notes scribbling on the building plan. The iPad has a sim but sometimes signal is dodgy so I dunno if I could make a temporary Wi-Fi type network between just the two devices. Like I don’t need a backup on iCloud till after I get home or to the hotel. But like sending 300 photos over airdrop in one go is also going to end in tears (though I haven’t tried with resized). Like it would be nice if I had a way to say ok from now till when I hit stop save all folders to a specific folder or album, resize them and immediately sync them to the iPad. I’m asking too much I know but a girl can dream haha
Thanks a lot 🌺
Thanks bunches
Thank you 🙏🏾
New Info Undated. Thank you for Gary’s great tips and it worked out after I tried another 3 hrs. 😅 I followed your video for multiple photos but the function isn’t working anymore. My updated software is iOS 16.7.2, and actually your first 3 minutes video is possible for multiple instead of single photo now!! I also figured out that I need to add “Get” (shortcuts from…) in order to have a camera resize icon in share under the photo app. Thank you for your tutorial and I hope this update info could help someone out there!✌🏻😃
Wow! Shortcuts is a pretty robust app. Thanks!
Thanks for providing an updated version for iOS 16 of one of my most used shortcut.
However, 2 bigs caveats that I tried to fix myself, but was not proficient enough with Shortcut to properly do it:
#1 Resize will occur as well if image is smaller that the requested size. Therefore the image will be upscaled and I don’t want that, if smaller I just want to go to the JPG compression and Metadata removal.
#2 I would prefer to use “longest measurement” (height or width) rather than width so output is consistent in maximum size (portrait / landscape).
Thank you so much for this video🙏 !! I even managed to do it with "french menu" and my english is not good 😉
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I just managed to get it right in danish 🤔
This help me so much. I found an image really wanted to use it for my Xbox account, but it was too small.
Hi - after setting up my resize shortcut, it wasn’t on my share sheet? what do i need to do to get it to show there when i select a photo? oh i turned off my phone and back on and it is there … thank you for the tutorial!1
Informative & useful as always. 👍🏻
Please do a couple of shortcuts video involving the Notes & Reminder apps.
Capturing notes from safari & other apps, any other in-depth use cases you can think of.
Likewise for reminder too.
Thank you.
What would you like to do, specifically?
@@macmost Nothing specific. Just interested in your perspective.
Clever 👍
Thank you! You just saved me after trying to figure it out for 6 hours
I had issue on a iPad with a some images refusing to resize. Converted image first then resize worked.
Hi Gary, thats great thanks! Can you add a way to strip the exif info within the same shortcut? I quite like stripping the exif data before sending photos through Facebook messenger etc
Yes, when you use the export action it is one of the options.
@@macmost Thanks, sorry I missed that! This was a really helpful video, thanks for that. I had a similar shortcut that always failed for multiple photos. This works so well, so cheers for the upload!
Thanks for that tutorial. Is there a way to change the photo dpi? From 72dpi to 300dpi?
See ruclips.net/video/CiQ-K4I4jaE/видео.html
How do I resize photos in the word doc app on the ipad?
You are a genius
I’ve got so many photos taking up space on my iPad I’ve been going mad looking for apps to resize them, keeping the metadata! You are a genius, thank you so much!!!!
Sir can I crop multiple images at one click by shortcut 🤔
Great video
If you are on an ipad, the instructions to change the icon for your new shortcut, are a little different. (At 2:58 in this video)
After creating the shortcut and going back into edit the short cut, you wont find a drop down arrow beside the shortcut name. But instead you can click on the default icon for the shortcut you just made and that will open up the options you need and you can then follow the rest of the instructions
And i have a screenshot which i even drew some arrows and lines around where you need to click, but it appears i cannot upload it as a comment on this post sorry
Is there anyway we can make it create like a border around it, like some apps do, in order to make a picture fit for an Instagram post?
Yes, but it will take a lot more work. For your purpose though, why not crop it in the Photos app with the ratio set to Square, then export or share directly from Photos.
I'm so excited to use this method to resize photos. I've followed each step exactly, 3 times. Any idea why it doesn't show up in the share sheet??? Mine looks exactly like yours.
If you are sure you have it set up right, did you look under Edit Actions at the bottom of the list and see if you need to add it? Are you using it in the right place, with an image selected?
@@macmost LOL, I guess my phone just needed a night to sleep on it. It magically appeared the next day. Thanks so much for this info and the reply!!
Can I ask a question because I am going stir crazy searching the internet: in iPadOS, does double tapping the image zoom in to 100% (1:1) so that the image is shown pixel per pixel at the screen resolution? And If I want to view the image at the resolution I might be printing at (eg 200ppi), how can I adjust the zoom to show this? I am not sure what the iPad does when zooming in at greater than 1:1, does it interpolate the image? Also, zoom pinching maxes out, (cannot zoom infinitely), at what zoom level is this? Thanks
What you get when you double-tap an image will depend on the app you are using. I don't think it goes to a specific zoom level, like 1:1 though.
Hi Gary, great video! I have a question, when I try to resize over 30 photos I'm getting error check settings. I'm not sure where to change the settings
Perhaps it isn't the number of photos, but something up with a particular photo in the bunch?
If you are doing large amounts of photos you have to go to the settings and scroll down to the shortcuts setting and change it to allow you to share large files or you will get a message not allowing it.
Nice
Is there possible about selfie?
I need to send selfie but they need only 2mb size i try to change the settings in app but it didn’t work
You can use this for it. Or, just do it in any image editing app that has an export function. ruclips.net/video/IYh7Z4W6RB8/видео.html
Excellent tutorial here. This one should be standard on the iPhone templates. Great job!!
So.. I got the script working on my iphone... and shared the script to my wifes phone (same model and ios) ... the script was not accessible on her sharesheet for photos... I checked the share sheet settings on the script and when she ran it hte first time it did ask if it should allow access to the photos once, ask each time... or always. we chose always. But the shortcut script still does not show on the sharesheet menu in photos. Is there some other setting we are missing?
Maybe try removing it and adding it back again?
Very good instruction, thanks. The reason for me to resize an image is to reduce the total size of foto's. So I wonder if anyone knows a method which can add some steps to this routine to delete the original foto's after the resize.
You would just have to manually delete it. But reducing the size of individual photos is a bad way to save space. You'll regret the loss in quality of your photos of friends, family, events and such at some point in the future.
Did they remove the “done” for when your finished in the 17.5 update? I can create a shortcut but no where does it say done.
Gary, Brilliant video Great Shortcut. Can you create video that will convert raw photos to jpegs using shortcuts. Is it possible to maintain the orignial date and time of the photo when converting a photo?
Yes. All of that is shown in this video.
@@macmost You missed this part of my question: Is it possible to maintain the orignial date and time of the photo when converting a photo?
@@JanLandy The date and time should remain unless you have chosen to strip out metadata. But keep in mind the file date is not the metadata date. Two different things.
Great video! The issue I'm having is that ordinary/everyday photos are about 3MB per photo - its all chewing into cloud storage on Google Photos. I have the appropriate settings on my iPhone as well as Google Photos to keep file sizes to as optimum as possible however its still a lot. E.g. a photo of an item on my desk should easily be under 1MB. Any work arounds for this?
I wouldn't use this to reduce the quality of your actual photos. I would store them in their current state. 3MB per photo is fine. Those are your originals, after all. I'd only use this if you need to reduce the size to make a copy to upload to a service or use in a document.
This is extraordinary scriptingstuff even for advanced iphone users 👍Hardcore tutorial, had to loop multiple steps. I subscribed
Very nice. Do you have to use shortcuts? Is there a way to resize photos in the photos app alone?
Not with the Photos app, no. That's why a Shortcut solution is needed. But you can get other apps that do it, sure.
@@macmost Thanks very much.
Thank you this is great! I've been unsuccessfully trying to figure out if there's a way to program the shortcut as follows: resize the photo, delete the original, send resized photo directly back into the photos app, This would help my workflow tremendously for my work!
Not sure why you would want that. Resizing the photo does the same thing. Why the extra work of making it disappear and reappear?
@@macmost so that you do not have multiple duplicate images to deal with. I dont need the hi res image i only want the low res.
@@oneoeach Perhaps I'm missing something here. You mention "work." So these aren't regular photos (vacations, family events, friends, etc) but some sort of work project? Maybe consider saving those to file instead of Photos? I still don't know why you wouldn't want to keep the high resolution versions around, ESPECIALLY if they are for work. What if later you want a different version of the image. Wouldn't you want the original to use for that?
Works great on non raw images, anyway to adjust for raw pro res resize to shareable jpg?
This converts to JPEG in the Shortcut. So it should work for RAW, converting it to a JPEG for you as well as resizing.
Yes for some reason after setting up multiple times following your instruction and downloading the file it does complete the shortcut on raw images. But it does on non raw.
@@zuvuya9 Not sure why it isn't working for you, sorry.
Great video. I wanbt a photo that ends up 667 kb or less. What parameters do I put in the resize?
You’ll have to try different sizes to see. Compression is different depending on the content of the photo.
On iPad so looks a little diff. This is so fast I cannot even keep up on slower play speeds 😭
Taking a half breath between steps would be tremendous helpful.
Ok, this was awesome. How in the hell did you figure all that out? I got lost following you. I found myself again thought.
I created the shortcut but it's not showing in the share sheet.. did something change in iOS 17.4.1?
Hello, Is it possible to make this shortcut a liitle more complex so that it will ask for each time the type of converted file like jpeg/png/pdf but if multiple photos are selected then it will only ask for the file type once, not for each photos individually? Your help will be much appreciated Sir.
Yes, but I think you'll need to ask manually with a question and choice, then use an IF action in the loop to choose from different export actions depending on which one was selected.
@@macmost Hello Sir, I tried to do it with the IF Function but it isn't working maybe due to I am doing something wrong, can you please help in making this shortcut? Or maybe an different video/article on how to convert file type using shortcuts would be helpful
@@samadritamukhopadhyay4636 take your time and play with it to learn how IF works. Or team up with a coder to work on it.
@@macmost Thanks for your support
I just want to take and save all pictures in a lower res in the first place but my SE doesn't seem to be able to do that which is really dumb!
