Batch resize icons for an app

To batch resize icons for an app, you can use various tools depending on your preferred platform. Here’s a simple guide for doing this:

1. Using Photoshop (Batch Processing)

  • Open Photoshop.

  • Go to File > Scripts > Image Processor.

  • In the Image Processor dialog:

    • Select the folder containing the icons you want to resize.

    • Choose where to save the resized files.

    • Under File Type, check Save as JPEG/PNG/GIF (depending on the format you need).

    • Check Resize to Fit and specify the width and height (e.g., 64×64, 128×128, 256×256).

    • Click Run.

2. Using GIMP (Free Software)

  • Open GIMP and install the BIMP plugin if you haven’t already.

  • Go to File > Batch Image Manipulation....

  • Add the icons you want to resize.

  • Choose the Resize option.

  • Set the desired width and height.

  • Click Apply to batch resize the icons.

3. Using an Online Tool (Batch Resize)

  • Websites like BulkResizePhotos or ResizeImage.net allow you to upload multiple images and resize them all at once.

  • Simply upload the icons and set the new dimensions.

  • Download the resized icons in the format you choose.

4. Using Command-Line (ImageMagick)

  • Install ImageMagick if you haven’t already.

  • Open the command line and navigate to the folder containing the icons.

  • Run a command like:

    nginx
    mogrify -resize 128x128 *.png

    This will resize all .png files in the folder to 128×128 pixels.

5. Using Mac Preview (for macOS Users)

  • Open all the icons in Preview.

  • Select all the images (Command + A).

  • Go to Tools > Adjust Size....

  • Set the new dimensions.

  • Save the resized files.

These methods should cover most needs, whether you prefer desktop applications or online tools. Let me know if you need further details!
