Image Resizer utility

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.

Drag and Drop

Image Resizer also allows you to resize images by dragging and dropping your selected files with the right mouse button. This allows you to quickly save your resized pictures in another folder.

Settings

Inside the PowerToys Image Resizer tab, you can configure the following settings.

Sizes

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 vs Fit vs Stretch

• Fill: Fills the entire specified size with the image. Scales the image proportionally. Crops the image as needed.
• Fit: Fits the entire image into the specified size. Scales the image proportionally. Does not crop the image.
• Stretch: Fills the entire specified size with the image. Stretches the image disproportionally as needed. Does not crop the image

The width and height of the specified size may be swapped to match the orientation (portrait/landscape) of the current image. To always use the width and height as specified, un-check: Ignore the orientation of pictures.

Fallback encoding

The fallback encoder is used when the file cannot be saved in it’s original format. For example, the Windows Metafile (.wmf) image format has a decoder to read the image, but no encoder to write a new image. In this case, the image cannot be saved in it’s original format. Image Resizer enables you to specify what format the fallback encoder will use: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, or WMPhoto settings. This is not a file type conversion tool, but only works as a fallback for unsupported file formats.

The file name of the resized image can be modified with the following parameters:

• %1 : Original filename
• %2 : Size name (as configured in the PowerToys Image Resizer settings)
• %3 : Selected width
• %4 : Selected height
• %5 : Actual height
• %6 : Actual width

For example, setting the filename format to: %1 (%2) on the file example.png and selecting the Small file size setting, would result in the file name example (Small).png .

Setting the format to %1_%4 on the file example.jpg and selecting the size setting Medium 1366 x 768px would result in the file name: example_768.jpg .

You can also choose to retain the original last modified date on the resized image.

Auto width/height

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 aspect ratio.

How to quickly resize images using Windows 10 Photos App

The app comes equipped with 3 preset options –

1. S – Small 0.25 MP (Suitable for profile pictures and thumbnails)
