How do I resize multiple images in Photoshop?

To resize multiple images in Photoshop, you can use the Image Processor tool. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Steps to Bulk Resize Images in Photoshop

Identify Your Images and Target Dimensions: Before starting, make sure you know which images you want to resize and what dimensions they should be. This ensures a smooth workflow.
Start Image Processor: Open Photoshop, then navigate to File > Scripts > Image Processor. This tool is designed for batch processing of images.
Select Images: In the Image Processor window, you'll need to choose the images you want to resize.
- Select 'Select Folder' if all your images are in one folder.
- Select 'Use Open Images' if the images you want are already open in Photoshop.
Choose Save Location: Decide where you want to save your resized images. You can:
- Save in the same location as the original images.
- Save in a new folder for better organization.
- If you choose a folder, Photoshop will automatically create a subfolder with the save format for all the resized images.
Set File Type and Resize Parameters:
- File type: Select your desired file type (e.g., JPEG, PSD, TIFF).
- Resize settings:
  - Check the box next to "Resize to Fit".
  - Enter the width and height dimensions.
  - Photoshop will maintain the aspect ratio, so your image will not be distorted.

Quality: Adjust the quality slider for JPEG files (if applicable).

Additional Settings:
- You can choose to:
  - Convert to sRGB. This is recommended for web use and consistent color appearance.
  - Run an Action if you need to apply an action to the photos after resizing.
  - Include Copyright Info when you save your image.
Run the Processor: Click Run to start resizing your images based on the parameters you set. Photoshop will automatically process all the images and save the resized versions.

Tips for Efficient Bulk Resizing

Organize: Place all images to resize in a single folder.
Test: Resize a few images first as a test before processing a large batch.
Aspect Ratio: Be mindful of maintaining the original aspect ratio of your images to avoid distortion.
Backup: Always back up your original images before processing.
Color: If using images for the web make sure to convert them to sRGB color mode.

Example

Let’s say you have 20 images that are all different sizes and you want to resize them to be 1000 pixels wide, maintaining their aspect ratio, and save them as JPEGs. You would follow the steps above and ensure you check the box next to “Resize to Fit”, enter “1000” for the width, choose your desired location to save the files, set JPEG as your file type and then click “Run”. Photoshop will then process all the images and save them as JPEGs resized to 1000 pixels wide, while maintaining their original aspect ratios, in the location you specified.
