Resizing Multiple Images

You can resize a group of images by specifying their dimensions in pixels, specifying a percentage of their original size, or by constraining them to a physical print size.

The resize operation cannot be reversed once implemented.

- by Actual or Print Size: Resizes the images to specific printed dimensions.

- Click Run Batch to resize your files.
