- How to quickly and easily Batch Resize Images for the web with Affinity Photo.
When you want to process a lot of images for a web site or eCommerce project, it can be incredibly time-consuming to do manually. If you don't want to spend crazy money on Photoshop, then Affinity Photo may be a great alternative without the huge price tag.
Let me show you how to not only batch resize images, but also save them in different formats and also apply various macros or effects to them, all at the same time.

One of the clearest presenters I have come across and I have tried quite a few.
Many thank's for a fantastic and very informative video thank's again Paul.
This is great if all your photos have the same aspect ratio, but what if you want to do a percent scale? I don't see an option for that.
Thanks, very clear and to the point.
finally! someone explaining how to do something simple in affinity photo in a s i m p l e way! appreciate it Paul!
My pleasure Tanya, glad you found this helpful. 😁
Excellent Tut Paul!
Did find the batch option after you mentioned it before, but haven't used as yet.
Glad I bought the Affinity suite last time it was on offer - Excellent value for the money!
Very handy feature... Thanks again 👍
Paul amazing video. This subject was exactly what I was looking for. The batch processing very well explained plus the macro process as a bonus.
thank you so much for that extremely helpful video! 🙏🏻
Great explanation!
A life saver! A time saver! Thank you so much!
I just subscribed, thanks so much for the clear explanations! I have so much to learn with this new program.
Thanks for the tutorial. I purchased the Affinity suite of products last year and am slowly making the switch from Adobe for different sets of tasks. Who the hell wants to pay subscriptions over and over again for all the software we should own outright. Thanks, Affinity for your pricing model. I hope Affinity also creates a video-editing alternative one day too and adds it to the collection.
this made so much sense....THANK YOU
Thanks for the tutorial! I own Affinity Photo and didn't realize I could do this. AP is saving me money again. I need batch resizing to prep images for websites. First I resize with AP then short pixel image optimizer batch compresses them just before the site is ready to launch.
Top stuff. You had me at macros! I love automation.
The macros are super useful. Such feature packed software at a sensible price.
Wow this was a lucky find and so well explained thank you! :)
Thanks for this nice video. Clear to understand and straight to the point. 👋
Brilliant Paul, I only bought Affinity two weeks ago and I haven't started to use/learn it yet but I couldn't pass up the 50% off offer.
Really useful and easy to do
well explained. Thank you
Soy el primero en ver el tutorial de Paul. Gracias por estos increíbles tutoriales.
You certainly are ;)
Great Content!
Many Thanks!
I like the bit "Just hit the thumbs down icon twice if you don't like" ;)
Thanks my friend
I love your sense of humour ( translated for UK) and I am gobmacked ( stunned with joy, in this case) (translated for Yankees) that I not only learned how to batch resize but also how to make macros. That's a two -fer👍 I was so excited I hit the thumbs down button 3 times.(Just kidding ) Thanks so much for this tutorial.
extremely helpful!! clicked the thums up once, thumbs down twice and thumbs up again- Im indecisive
Thanks for the well explained instructions.
I want to batch convert PNG files to *jpeg-2000* retaining transparency and setting the quality to a lower setting than the default.
Affinity Photo does not seem to have a jpeg-2000 option that I can find in Batch, Export, the UI or the Help, and how do I get Export into a macro any way even if it could do jpeg-2000?
I need to be able to change the resolution as I purchased pngs for print but it was only 72 res. I would also change the width. Help?
Great, clear video thank you. Really helped. Now, I'm trying to record a macro to add a small bit of text (watermark) to a photo on the bottom right. Is this not possible do you know?
Great presentation for sure. One point.. with JPG especially. If you have two actions to perform, wouldn't it best to do them in one batch job to avoid resaving a jpg? Save 1 at 85%, then save 2 at 85% as well could substantially degrade a file?
Thank you very much! This helps me a step further. I also wanted to add my name on the photos. Macro does not accept that no tekst. As copyright. That’s a pitty
Make a macro... ahh thats how it works :) thanks a lot
Great video👌🏾👌🏾 can you do this on iPad?
HI Paul, for zooming in and out what software do you use?
I just spent almost an hour trying to do this in Photoshop with getting only error messages. Then I watched your video and got the task done in 5 minutes. Another nail in the coffin of Photoshop for me. Ready to delete it and stop paying them $10 a month for the "privilege" of using their program. One question...I can't find any explanation of what the tick mark under A means next to the H and W fields for each file format. I don't believe you mentioned it in your video and I looked in the documentation and nothing either. Maybe maintain aspect ratio? Thanks again for a great video and I am loving Affinity Photo!
Great video Paul, even I could understand it. Wondering if you had a way to do a 'Fit' command, I used that a lot in Photoshop to pad out images to square?
I bet you can create a macro "convert to square"
If I just make it bigger like from 300px to1000px and then scale it down as needed...will the resolution be better for printing?
This is probably the most clearly explained (and professionally produced) video I've ever seen on UA-cam, but sadly it didn't explain how to specify image resolution (dpi) on Batch Export. Surely this must be possible with Affinity Photo..?
Found it at last!
DOCUMENT > RESIZE DOCUMENT (to change the dpi).
Awesome!!!
Is it possible to do batch edits in Affinity Photo 2 iPad version? When I search for that I seem to get PC tutorials
How do you batch edit gopro lens correction with development persona?
Great tutorial. I sure wish AP had an option to resize an image by a percentage. I could use the macro option then. I have dozens of images in one folder to resize, each with different dimensions. I just want to resize them all to 75% of their size. :( Either way, fan of your style of presenting and training. No fluff, just content. Like and subscribe respectfully 'smashed'!
Percentages don't make much sense, actually. Generally resizing is done for a specific reason... like making images ideal for Facebook or Instagram or web publishing. For example, do you really want to resize 100x100 images to 75x75 at the same time you're resizing 2000x2000 images to 1500x1500? I'd argue no. What you are more likely to want to do is to resize "Large" images into one or multiple smaller sizes but leave "small" images alone. Likewise you generally won't like it if it upsizes your 50x50 image to 2000x2000. Lastly there is the portrait vs landscape problem. Photoshop has a tool to resize "longest side" with an option to not upsize. That probably exists somewhere in Affinity but it feels unsatisfactory to fill in only ONE of the two dimensions not knowing which is really the longest side.
This is a great video, but how do you batch change the dpi?
I had the same problem, but managed to find it eventually:
DOCUMENT > RESIZE DOCUMENT (to change the dpi).
This would be done while recording a custom macro (as in the video above).
How can I take one image and resize it into various sizes i.e. 1500 x 2100, 4200 x 3000, etc.?
Awesome video! Many thanks Paul. Can you please suggest how to create "claim your business" functionality for a custom business directory created using elementor
Wouldn't you just make that the words on the button that takes the user to where they create an account?
Nice vid, thank you! Can I ask you what kind of microphone are you using for audio recording?
It's a BeyerDynamic shotgun mic - you can find out more about the tools I use here: ua-cam.com/video/XXf03uJCgiI/v-deo.html
Thank you!:)
@@tibo_molnar no worries. 👍
Can you show us how to do this in photoshop
Do they have linux version?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems not, according to the tech specs page
Really simple, but unfortunately it didn't work. I set the batch to reduce all by 50% and it had zero effect. (I learned that you can set percentages in the other Affinity programs when 'transforming' graphics so the same should apply here). Everything appeared as if it was doing a batch operation, but upon inspection, all the images were exactly the same size. 😐
This is so close to being useful, it's such a shame, all they need to do is add the ability to save width or height etc. in the filename and allow more than one size, both of which can be done in the export persona. As it is, I can't use it, unless I want to manually rename dozens of files with 1600w, 1200w, 800w suffixes. It's actually less grief to save an export preset with all your required sizes and appropriate filenames and apply that to each photo. Hopefully this will be addressed in future, both Serif and Adobe are really missing a trick here since optimizing images is now essential in web development. Third parties like cloudinary that automate this are cleaning up. I think a lot of web devs would be very interested in buying AP for fifty dollars if they could just select a folder and have it churn out 3 or four sizes of each photo, all correctly named and yes, in Webp as well.
It’s an extra step but very easy to batch rename files (Mac): e.g. select all files in the 1600w folder, control-click, rename, replace “.jpg” with “-1600w.jpg” … newbie here, hope this helps someone. :)
@@MorganReece the point is to rename the files to reflect their actual information. E.g. the 1024x578 files should have that information and the 3256x2154 files that information.
There are ways to do it... exiftool is probably the "simplest" way except that it has a quite complicated command line.
Rule #1, never ever compare ANY photo editor to Photoshop.
Why?
No reply then?- I’ve used PS for many years-still don’t know all it’s features, but in these times, and in the past I’ve always felt it’s WAY OVERPRICED!
@@WPTuts because PS have Camera Raw!!! And that is just at the first step...
@@robertfomitescu1321 and Affinity has RAW support and it’s own built in RAW editor so I fail to see the argument there I’m afraid. 🤷🏼♂️
@@WPTutsWhat I meant is that Affinity doesn't have an editing engine like Ps,with the Camera Raw from Ps , is possible to edit more then one picture but also individuali.
