mass resize images on ubuntu

August 15th, 2007
If you want to resize a large number of images and you are using Ubuntu, then the task will be very easy for you.

Open the directory containing the images to be scaled with Nautilus and select the images you want to resize. Then, right click and choose Open with "gThumb Image Viewer". When the program opens, press Ctrl-A to select all the images. Then, from the menu select Tools Scale Images... You will be presented a dialog that will ask you to specify a number of parameters like the new size, destination folder, etc. When done press the Scale button, seat back and enjoy the show.

If your images are not all of exactly the same size, remember to scale them using a percentage rather than a fixed pixel number.
