Make all images the same size on a Mac

Blogon July 22nd, 2010No Comments

I often run across the need to standardize the size of photos or images for a given project. In the past, I would go into an image editing software program to make all image sizes uniform. But if you have a Mac, there is a much easier way to do this:

  1. Place all relevant images into a new folder.
  2. Open that folder and select all of the images (command + A) and double click on one of the selected images.
  3. This will open Preview and all images will show along the right side of the application.
  4. Click on one of the images and do another select all (command + A)
  5. Under the Tools menu, click on Adjust Size.
  6. Here you can designate the width and height of each image.  There are some standard options to choose from as well as the ability to determine your own size.
  7. You’re done.  Now all images in that folder will be in the new customized size.

It may be a good idea to make a copy of the images folder before you make this change, just so you have the originals if you ever need them.

I need to give credit here to Josh Winkles for teaching me know how to do this.
