Search tool for resize + compress multiple *.jpg fotos/pictures at once !!

[Paul Babb]

Ok, there are hundreds of software tools which allow me to load, resize and compress JPG fotos
step by step. For each single fotos these operation must be applied individually.

But what I want is a tools which does this for ALL fotos from a given folder resp. for
ALL fotos I loaded previously in a single step/menu click !!!

No advanced operations are necessary just e.g.
- resize all jpg fotos to format 1280 x 840
- compress all fotos by 20%
- save them to their original location

Does someone know such a utility ?

This should do it:

Image Resizing



To decrease the size of the file for e-mail, web publishing, etc.



Go to this site and download the free Image Resizer. Exe file in one of your
folder.

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Once in your folder, double click on it to install it.

Once installed, you right click on a photo file (or on a group of selected
photo files).

Click on Resize image on the opening menu.

A window will open, select the size you want.

New files will be added in your folder, same name as original file but with
the word (small) or (custom) added.



The first time you use it, you may not see Resize image on the opening menu
after you right click on a photo file or if you see it and click on it, it
may not work. If so, do the following:

Click on Run, click on Start and type the following in the textbox:

REGSVR32 SHIMGVW.DLL

and press the Enter key.

Note that there is a space between ...32 and SHI.

You should get a "success" message after pressing the Enter key.

PaintShop Pro and its Batch Mode. Many others exist with batch
modes, too.

 

[Patrick Harrison]

Try IrfanView graphics viewer (and much more) which is very
simple to use a a whole and has a batch mode which is very easy
to use. Available from: http://www.irfanview.com/

 

[MurrayW]

what imaging software do you use? I use DIP 10 and that ability is
built into the program.

I don't know about PS or PSP and others but a 3rd party one called
Mihov Image Resizer will do what you wish. I'm sure a googly will
suffice to locate this fine product which is freeware.

If you have PS, you had the ruby slippers all the time

record an action on one image:
use SAVE for web, set the size as a percentage of original or set a
specific height and width and compression (jpg high med low)
press stop
Use automate> batch

point it to the folder you need changed
make a new folder for the results and use the palette to rename your files
to whatever, leave blank if you don't want to rename them
that's it
