Image Resizer Overview
Image Resizer is a windows shell extension for bulk image resizing. After installing PowerToys, right-click on one or more selected image files in File Explorer, and then select Resize pictures from the menu.
Image Resizer also allows you to resize images by dragging and dropping your selected files with the right mouse button. This allows you to save your resized pictures in another folder.
Image Resizer allows the user to configure the following settings:
The user can add new preset sizes. Each size can be configured as Fill, Fit or Stretch. The dimension to be used for resizing can also be configured as Centimeters, Inches, Percent and Pixels.
- Fill: Takes the larger of the width and height scale value and applies that to the other scale value, zoom in and crop the image.
- Fit: Takes the smaller of the width and height scale value and applies that to the other scale value.
- Stretch: Will make the image fit within the height/width bounding box. There is an excellent chance the image will distort since the scaling ratio won't be the same in the new image size.
The user can change the fallback encoder (the one it uses when it can't save as the original format) and modify PNG, JPEG and TIFF settings.
The user can modify the format of the file name of the resized image. They can also choose to retain the original last modified date on the resized image.
You can leave the height or width empty. This will honor the specified dimension and "lock" the other dimension to a value proportional to the original image's aspect ratio.
If you specify a negative width and/or height, the image will be flipped horizontally and/or vertically.
You can specify a directory in the filename format to group resized images into sub-directories. For example, a value of %2\%1 would save the resized image to Small\Sample.jpg
