I spent 2 nights resizing photos for Etsy, and.... after watching your video, I just did 300 while taking a shower! Thanks a load! You have just made my online life a lot easier! Thanks again!
Instead of doing the Image Size option, go to File->Automate and choose Fit Image. In the dialog enter the dimensions you want. If you enter 2000 in both fields, then the action will resize all images to 2000 pixels on the long side regardless of if the image is landscape mode or portrait mode. This way your images are consistent in their dimensions.
I had a mix of landscape and portrait mode images, I set up an action for each. I had to watch the video a few times to get all of the keystrokes and selections, but I finally got both actions functioning and have successfully reduced about 50 images. Thanks for the video
This worked perfectly for me! I followed your steps precisely and got the result I needed. From finding your video to completing the batch compressing of 56 enormous photo files took about 10 minutes! Thanks for the time saver.
My friend and fellow engineering student needed to batch process 50 pages with images and I used this exact method a few days ago. Creating consistent files with the same size, white spaces etc. is so much quicker this way.
This was SO helpful! I've known I could do this for years, yet never put in the time to actually learning how. After a quick Google search, I found your video (that had already been cued up to the exact place I needed), and was able to figure it out with minimal frustration!! I rarely write RUclips comments but just wanted to thank you so much!! I will subscribe to your channel.
Concise, clear, and straight to the point. Unlike many other many tutorial videos filled with jibber jabber and filler content. I'd give you 1 million likes if I could❤️
Hi guys, i was wondering if is any way to the batch processing and keep the RAW file extension instead of JPEG or PNG as a final results. Thanks - I am not talking the setup in camera.
PHLEARN, PLEASE HELP - What if you had both portrait & landscape images within the folder, is there anyway to automate it so it makes the longest side 800px and not just the width?
Do you know uploading pictures without resizing them reduces the uploading speed of your website? You can lose 97% of potential users if your website takes over 2 seconds to download the images. Image optimization and resizing are no more a headache! There is a solution! You can use image resize tools to optimize images as per your desire. It automatically adjusts or applies the effects and resizes the images. Corel Draw speeds up the process of applying multiple effects simultaneously in bulk form. It drastically increases the page uploading speed. www.techeeks.com/product/pic-magic-tools
Always good to have videos like this, short and straight to the point. I am now giving myself a heart attack by taking 1920 x 1080 and putting at 3840 x 2160. Hopefully my computer does not crash, as it will be an all night job while I am sleeping.
I've been looking for a way to batch export my photo's to a smaller files to use for my website... and this video saved me SO MUCH TIME! Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot , usually I use some images on landing pages as proof for the clients. For one and half years the resizing was a pain in my a$$. Thanks to this very quick video i can now do it in a few clicks.
If I want multiple images of different resolution resized to a specific dimension, say 9"x9", would this method work?? I dont want to lose the quality of any of the images or their default color profile. Just need to size them up according specific dimensions in inches.
what abot if we have many subfolders with psd files and we want to save them as jpg and each of the final jpg to be saved in the same subfolder as the orginal is this possible?
Thank you! Both for the expertise (this was exactly what I needed) but also that you explained it in 2 min. There are a ton of tutorials where they drag on and on before getting to the point... love your style! And "phlearn" is a really fun word to say. I'll be back!
One important thing to note. If you "save for web" instead of "save as" this will not work. My workflow is always "save for web" but "save for web" doesn't work in actions. I struggled with this for a long time thinking I didn't know how to use batching. It turns out PhotoShop doesn't batch "save for web". As soon as I rerecorded my process with "save as" instead of "save for web" it worked fine. This needs to be pointed out more often, as us web designers use "save for web" all the time.
Awesome! I do stop motion animation, so I have ten of thousands of photos that I need to compress so I can store them more easily. This was very helpful.
Is there a way to batch crop images? Or batch split. Say there are multiple images with both a left and right side I was to save as individual images, how do I do this? Thanks
PS versions can be an issue. I can't tell what version of photoshop is used in the video. Splash screen and a command call "feather" gave me fits... worked through and got to work. can the automation be attached to a short cut like the action can... ? I tried to use a custom size and would not work. Tried to use the current image size and couldn't get to work... the resize action wouldn't save... or update... didn't know I could do this and is a great thing to know... I been working with PS now about 5 years and still learning...Thanks.
Maybe there is no easy way, but I need my vertical images to be a different width than my horizontal. Is there a fast batch type option for this in photoshop?
What you can do is select Image-> Image Size and then in the width section use "Percent" instead of "Pixels", choose 25% and it will adjust vertical and horizontal images by percent which will give you different widths based on the fact if it's a vertical or horizontal image.
It's not working for me... I have 45mg each Raw images and when I open a file to resize it first prior to editing the color etc (because I don't want to work on 45 meg images) it does not open the same dialog box you show... it opens a Camera Raw 14.2 box and I see no option to resize.
How to resize different images in same size in terms of inch, centimeter for example I want to resize all the 8 X 10, 7 X 4, 12 X 9, 16 x 9, 20 X 16 etc images to a particular size say 8 X 5 inch / centimeter in one document?
My layer style on batches never come out as intended. Sometimes it greyscales other times it warps the layer style. Any ideas on how i can get a batch to process as intended? PS support was dead end.
Thank you sooo much for making this video! I've had to resize and compress a lot of event photos for work to add to our website. Working on a very small team (NGO life, amirite?), this saved so much time and stress - THANK YOU!!🙌🎉Also, very impressive to fit that much info into only 2 mins!👏
Does it matter what year photoshop you have? I have 2020 downloaded on my computer and when I go to windows and action it does not have the same - as on video to make folder or record - ?
Thank you for this technique! saved significant amount of time resizing png sequence of animation for about 60-100 frames (1024x1024) to (512x512). My God. Where were you all this time? Haha Thanks a lot, mate!
Hey, thanks a lot. For some reason PS also creates a copy of the resized pictures where I saved it to while creating the action. My desktop was packed with copies! :-) Any idea why?
Is it possible to resize, then leave them to REPLACE pics in various nested folders? For instance, I have a Calibre library, and I want to batch resize all the pictures, all named cover.jpg, all in a folder full of folders for each book, then replace the exiting pic with the resized one.
Is there a way to do this recursively, over an entire directory structure? Got a bunch of 4k images I need reduced to 2k, but they're scattered throughout an existing folder hierarchy.
Is there an option to set a minimum resolution size for the batch? For example: change the width of the photo to 50cm, only if the resolution will be above a specific number?
i did this and resize works, but if I add 1 step extra and hit blend options and color overlay a line art png to red and save, it saves the same image over and over instead of applying it to each line art png to change it red. any tips?
Thanks for the video but it didn't work for me. What if in the same folder, there are HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL images? I got the horizontals right but the verticals get distorted into horizontals.
Hello all I have a Photoshop question: When I go to "Save As" it doesn't show me JPG or PNG as an option. It only shows TIFF and PSD - how can I change this?
Thank you so much PH life saver. One question i need to resize 20 different sizes and need to save them is there a action for this or can you run all the size actions some how
What if big files to resize? Ex. The file is 8100x5700 px PNG format. Need to resize to 11700x8100px to Jpg let say 10 set of image? can handle this big file? Thanks. I tried to 5 images. There is no problem.
no, if it does not very well, so I usually create an action for landscape photos and another action for portraits video. and use batch image processor to run the actions.
Great tutorial. You gave precise instructions and it worked. I guess my brain has dissolved to the point where I can't follow them because Photoshop is not resizing any of the images and I'm now going to jump through a plate glass window. WEEEEEEE 😤
Great video. However this process appears to only work for images that are all in the same orientation (i.e. portrait or landscape). If you have a combination of portrait and landscape images, what is the process? Thank you.
Didn't work for me I don't know why it saved images as it's original sizes, error says "could not complete your request because the file format module cannot parse the file". need help..

Plus, you can also apply Actions to each image as it goes!
If you want it to work for portrait and landscape equally, use a % instead of a set pixel size. Then you will get the desired results.
This comment is so helpful! Thank you.
This is, quite possibly, the greatest photoshop tutorial everyone needs but doesn't know they need.

OMG. You just made my life so much easier. Here all along, I have been resizing every individual photo with photoshop. A Million Thanks

Thanks, dude! You saved me much time, resized 30 photos in less than 30 seconds!!!
So cool! but is it possible to batch export to web for png24 files and use the 'Save As' override here?
How does the serial number work, how can I get it to label image from 1-50 if it has same file name instead of overiding
Is there a way to do this recursively, over an entire directory structure? Got a bunch of 4k images I need reduced to 2k, but they're scattered throughout an existing folder hierarchy.
Sir you are a saint for making it so quick and to the point.
This was SUPER HELPFUL!!! Thank you so so so much!!!
Awesome video sir. Much better taught then some of these others. Definitely going to follow you for your other teachings. TY

Thank you Aaron, you made my day.
You always save me with your tutorials 🥰 thank you 🤗
I did try this, but I am also adding a crop to a certain size to many different sized images, and that doesn't seem to work with the crop.
This is very nice for automation. Thank you for making this video!
Thanks so much!! Wow, this really eliminates repetitive, boring work.
saved me hundreds of hours work,thank you thank you thank you!
Any way to batch resize to get the longest edge (whether portrait or landscape) of an image to be a certain size?
Many thanks for not taking 10 minutes for the sake of taking 10 minutes...have a like!

Thanks for the video but it didn't work for me. What if in the same folder, there are HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL images? I got the horizontals right but the verticals get distorted into horizontals.
Almost too good and easy. Thank you!
5 years after, still a life saver!
Thank you this helped me resize a batch load of emotes I was working on

Thank you very much, it worked as expected 🙂
Nathan, you're brilliant, thank you
Thank you soooo much. Was trying to figure out how to do this in Preview on Mac but to no avail - then found this video! Huge help.
Hello ,
Can you make tutorial in future how to create nice DVD cover & print for DVD case !
Thanks.
Rade
Does this work even if the original images are all different sizes and have different aspect ratios?
no, if it does not very well, so I usually create an action for landscape photos and another action for portraits video. and use batch image processor to run the actions.
Thank Youuuuuu! I was about to spend the whole night resizing. Thank you!!!!!
Very helpfull ! Thanks alot !
I had to pauze the movie a few times. But once you know, it’s super easy !
Thank you. Just what I needed!
Thanks for making this tutorials and i loved it..............................
