Image resizing in Photoshop speeds up the process of processing huge numbers of images especially when you have worked on a lot of real estate properties. Resizing pictures for diverse use cases can be time-consuming, especially if you have a lot of images to resize. Fortunately, photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop can help you quickly and accurately resize thousands of images.

How to Resize Multiple Images in Photoshop

Resizing a single picture in Photoshop is simply easy, but what if you still have to resize several images? You can go through each one separately, but that would take up important time that might be spent on anything more creative. Discover how to resize multiple images in real estate photography at once by following these steps:

Step 1: Create Folders

Under this section, we'll resize many images in a single folder using the Automate > Batch function. As a consequence, it's vital to start with the right folders, one for raw photographs and one for where they'll be moved after they've been resized.

Create two new folders to begin. The first should be named Original Images, while the second should be designated Resized Images. Ensure that the very first folder contains all of the photographs you wish to resize. Take note that this process is mandatory. You can now direct Photoshop to a specific folder and instruct it to resize all of the images in that folder before uploading them to the other folder. 

Step 2: Create a New Action Set

Photoshop actions allow you to quickly and easily resize all of your images in one second.

1. Once you have already made the folders, open Adobe Photoshop and go to Window > Actions to enter the Actions panel.
2. Now, in Photoshop, go to File > Open and select one of the pictures from the original folder.
3. Click the Folder button in the Actions tab to create a new set for the action. Name the set “resizing action”, and then press OK.
4. If you want to create a shortcut to make the action easier to do, select a function button from the drop-down menu and check shift and/or command.

Step 3: Create a Resizing Photoshop Action

1. To create a new action, choose the folder and then hit the Paper button. Once you're done, click the Record icon to start recording your actions.
2. Now that your action has been recorded, go to Image > Size and adjust the length or height of your desire.
3. After you have resized your image, click Save. Select the Resized Images folder by going to File > Save As. After you have selected your folder, ensure that you don't change the name of the image before pressing Save. Then, for these jpegs, select the picture quality you desire.
4. The final step in this procedure is critical. While the action is still recording, select File > Close or press Control-W to exit the Photoshop file. Before you press the Stop icon in the Actions panel, ensure that this is the last step of your action. If you skip this step, Photoshop will open all of the photos in the folder without shutting any of them. Based upon the number, it might make your computer slow or crash.

Step 4: Using the Action

1. The next and final step is to resize multiple images using the action I’ve just created. Open Photoshop. Go File>Automate>Batch.
2. Choose the Action Set previously created and also the Action you want to execute from the Batch settings. Before you click OK, proceed to the folder containing the images you wish to resize. Since the original action saves your pictures to the Resized Images folder, any subsequent images will also be saved there. This process will now be repeated for each image in that folder, with every file closing before loading the next.

Batch Image Resizer Is an alternative

If the processes outlined above are too difficult to implement, you may want to try employing a batch image resizer to resize the images for you. All you have to do is:

1. Open Photoshop and select File > Automate > Batch.
2. The Batch window should now appear. Choose the set in which you produced your action, followed by your action.
3. Where it reads Source, select Folder, and then click the Choose button to select the folder containing all of your photographs.
4. You don't need to pick a destination because you've already included it in your action.

• Note that if you want to add an extension to the file names of your photographs, choose Resized Images as your destination folder and then check Override Action Save As Commands.

5. Now press the OK button. All of your resized photographs should now be in your "Resized Images" folder.

Conclusion

Because not all of our images are the exact size, it's vital to understand how to resize an image and how resizing works.
