Whether you have strict size requirements for a web / graphics design project, or just wish to make many pictures smaller for social media or e-mail, Resize Sense will get the job done quickly and easily. Save your settings as presets, and next times it will take even less time!
Just an example. You can easily resize hundreds of images, each one to several different sizes, and save every size in its own image format, with its own filename pattern. All this in a single batch operation, in a few minutes!
However, you do not need to perform complex automation to enjoy the unique flexibility offered by Resize Sense. You will also feel it when doing casual image processing.
Resize Sense handles any resizing and cropping need with ease:
Resize Sense lets you decide what to do if the image aspect ratio changes, prompting you to crop, deform, or add borders. And if the image is too small for the requested size, Resize Sense can enlarge, extend the canvas, keep the original, or skip this image.
Resize Sense provides a live final image preview. You get instant feedback on how the final image will look after cropping, extending with borders, distorting, etc.
Resize Sense makes it possible to combine batch operation with manual cropping and straightening. You can crop and straighten any image manually, and the cropped part will be resized as required. Everything in a single operation! Most other batch image resizers would, at best, allow you to align the crop rectangle automatically, without any manual control.
Moreover, with Resize Sense you can synchronize the crop & straighten settings between images, making it possible to bulk-crop many images manually!
With Resize Sense, you never need to enter the same configuration twice! Just save your size configurations, as well as output settings (file naming and format), as custom presets.
With the custom size presets defined, you can save every image in several sizes at once! Moreover, using custom saving presets, you can even save every size in its own file format and with its own filename pattern!
Resize Sense supports the Small and Large Batch modes. The former is convenient when working with relatively few images and performing many customizations (manual crop, rotation, etc.). The latter is suitable when processing thousands of images.
Even the basic act of saving your work is highly configurable. You can save into a single output folder or at the original locations. Replicate the original directory structure if needed. Use image information such as size and metadata in the generated filenames. And of course, you can choose the output image format, define JPEG quality, etc.

Even if you’re only an amateur photographer using the camera of your latest smartphone, you probably know that camera technology has come a long way in recent years. While the quality of pictures and photographs has improved tremendously, this presents a real problem when you are looking to publish your image online.
The problem with uploading high-resolution pictures is that their high pixel content makes loading the image an energy-intensive process for computer processors. This can lead not only to slow page speed but also to frustrating user experience as your site takes a long time to load, exasperating the user. Even if it’s not your website, resizing your image can reduce its file size. With many sites having maximum image file size requirements, compressing and reducing the size of your image while retaining its quality is an important exercise.
Now we will look at two of the most popular resizing programs available and how to use them for both Windows and Mac.
Gimp, otherwise known as the General Image Manipulation Program, is a versatile piece of freeware available for both Windows and macOS. As a free and open-source graphics software, Gimp is used for image retouching, editing, conversions, and of course, resizing.
Gimp is used by amateurs and professionals alike and is commonly cited as one of the best free alternatives to Adobe’s Photoshop. For our purposes today, we will be using Gimp for resizing an image to web size with both Windows and macOS.
3. Now you should see your image in the main window. Click on “Image” in the top menu bar and select “Scale Image”.4. In the new window that pops up from step 3, enter your desired dimension for width in percentage. By entering the width in percentage, Gimp will automatically calculate the optimal height for you. For web pages, 600 is usually a good width. Click on “Scale” after entering your new dimensions and voila, your image has been resized. Make sure to save it under a new name so as not to override the original.
The steps for resizing an image with Gimp on macOS are largely similar to that of windows.
3. Your image should appear in the main Gimp window now. Go to the top menu bar and click “Image” then “Scale Image”.4. In the new scale image window, several parameters will appear. Here you can manipulate the width, height, pixels, percent and more. However, the simplest way to resize an image is to just change the width in percentage, allowing Gimp to automatically recalculate the new percentage height for you.
Adobe Photoshop has long been the market leader for professional graphic designers and photo editors everywhere. Photoshop’s strength and versatility when it comes to manipulating digital images are truly unparalleled. While Photoshop is not a free program, it consistently delivers the best quality results. If you have access to Photoshop then make it your preferred choice to resize an image.
While Photoshop was originally created for macOS in the early 1990s, the program is now universal to the leading operating systems, Windows and Mac. Since its inception, Photoshop remains popular. Today, the program and its core offerings are the same for both Windows and Mac. It doesn’t matter which system your running because your photoshop experience will be the same. The program does not vary according to what system you’re running. Fortunately, that makes this guide simpler. Just follow along, as all the following steps are applicable to both Windows and macOS.
Both Gimp and Photoshop are powerful, versatile programs that offer lots of flexibility to the end-user. At the same time, they are relatively easy to use, as the steps above demonstrate. Each program has its minor pros and cons, but at the end of the day, the results are usually similar. It’s up to the editor (you) to achieve the end result and hopefully, this guide can help you get there.
