Hi Guys!

Can I ask a huge help question?

I have a folder of images (about 100) of them that I need to resize to a certain size....

I am familiar with AUTOMATE for RESIZING, but I really want to use the "SAVE FOR WEB OPTIMIZED" option for them as it cuts down file size and well saves them for web! The other way seems to make the file still too large....

Any help would GREATLY be appreciated!!


Thanks for your genuis!

A fast, Photoshop-only way to get the Save for Web quality across a whole folder is to record an Action that resizes and runs Save for Web, then run that Action with Automate > Batch. That avoids extra downloads (though is right that third-party batch tools exist if you prefer). A few practical tips follow so the run is safe and predictable.

  1. Create an Action: open one image, open the Actions panel, start a new action and record. Do Image > Image Size (choose the pixel dimensions and use a reduction method like Bicubic Sharper), run File > Save for Web (choose JPEG/WebP, quality, metadata and Convert to sRGB if it will be viewed on the web), then File > Close and stop recording.
  2. Run File > Automate > Batch: choose your Action, set Source to Folder (pick the input folder), set Destination to Folder (pick an output folder), and check Override Action "Save As" Commands so files go to the chosen output folder. Click OK and let Photoshop process the batch.
  3. Test first on 10 files, work on copies, and watch for dialogs. If Save for Web still prompts for each file in your PS version, try the Image Processor script or a small automation script that calls Save for Web.

Extra notes: include a final Close step in your Action so open documents do not pile up; decide whether to keep metadata (Save for Web defaults to stripping it); and for smaller file size consider modern encoders (WebP or mozjpeg) outside Photoshop if you need maximum compression.

I have to say I am interested in this answer. I have never even thought about batch processing images tbh, so I have never needed to do it but if anyone one knows....

hey guys, there are several software for batch imahe processing. I used several, perhaps i dont remember em now cause i rarely(raised to power rarely) went under such circumstances.
