A menu will pop up with what looks like several daunting options. Don’t worry. All it is asking for is the location of the photo folder, where you want your resized copies to go, and how small you want them. Just follow the numbers on the left. 1, 2, 3.
Before I do this, I usually create a folder inside the photo folder and call it “Small Copies” so that I know exactly what it is:
Step 1: Click on “Select Folder” and browse to the location of the folder where your photos are.
Step 2: Click on “Select Folder” and choose the new location where resized copies will be saved.
Step 3: Check the “Save as JPEG” box, then choose a quality setting between 1 and 6. To resize, check the “Resize to Fit” box and enter the dimensions in pixels for your photos. 640 x 480 is a good size for e-mail, or maybe 800 x 600 would work too, if you don’t have too many photos you are going to e-mail.
And you’re done! Your photos are now copied to the new location and resized, and your original photos are untouched:

Hi
Thanks for this info about batch resizing photos – although I don’t seem to be doing it correctly as it hasn’t worked for me.
I was hoping you could help?
I’ve followed all the instructions prefectly and then clicked on ‘run’ but nothing seems to be happening and the folder I’ve created to send the smaller files to is empty.
Hope you can help…
With thanks

I don’t think I can diagnose what that problem would be. I would start by selecting your “desktop” as the location it saves the photos to, and start out with just one photo first. Make one modification at a time and see if it copies them to the desktop…
Oh, thank you so much for explaining this! I was banging my head against the wall manually resizing my photos. I have Photoshop, so now I’m all set!
thanks! worked perfectly! :0)
I have a batch of pictures which are all different sizes and now I want them all to fit for my website at 500X500 with maintaining the aspect ratio. I followed your insctructions but the pictures are now all resized with only the height 500
can someone help?
Thank you so much for this! I needed it badly and had no idea it was right under my nose
I owe this site and the contributor a million thanks. It really worked for me. So easy? Whaoooo! I have learnt something new. Thank you once again. Keep it up.
