Settings

Inside the PowerToys Paradigm Resizer tab, you lot can configure the following settings.

PowerToys Image Resize Settings Menu

Sizes

Add together new preset sizes. Each size can be configured as Make full, Fit or Stretch. The dimension to exist used for resizing can also be configured as Centimeters, Inches, Percent and Pixels.

Fill vs Fit vs Stretch

  • Fill: Fills the entire specified size with the image. Scales the paradigm proportionally. Crops the paradigm as needed.
  • Fit: Fits the unabridged image into the specified size. Scales the image proportionally. Does not crop the image.
  • Stretch: Fills the entire specified size with the image. Stretches the paradigm disproportionally as needed. Does not crop the paradigm.

Notation

If Ignore the orientation of pictures is checked, the width and height of the specified size may be swapped to match the orientation (portrait/landscape) of the current image. In other words: If checked, the smallest number (in width/height) in the settings volition exist applied to the smallest dimension of the picture. Regardless if this is declared as width or superlative. The thought is that different photos with different orientations volition still be the same size.

Fallback encoding

The fallback encoder is used when the file cannot be saved in its original format. For example, the Windows Metafile (.wmf) image format has a decoder to read the image, but no encoder to write a new prototype. In this case, the image cannot exist saved in its original format. Image Resizer enables you lot to specify what format the fallback encoder will utilise: PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, or WMPhoto settings. This is not a file type conversion tool, but only works every bit a fallback for unsupported file formats.

File

The file name of the resized image can be modified with the following parameters:

Parameter Result
%i Original filename
%two Size proper name (equally configured in the PowerToys Epitome Resizer settings)
%3 Selected width
%4 Selected height
%v Actual tiptop
%6 Bodily width

For example, setting the filename format to: %1 (%2) on the file instance.png and selecting the Small file size setting, would result in the file name example (Small).png. Setting the format to %1_%4 on the file case.jpg and selecting the size setting Medium 1366 10 768px would result in the file proper name: example_768.jpg.

You can specify a directory in the filename format to group resized images into sub-directories. For instance, a value of %2\%1 would salve the resized image(southward) to Small\example.jpg

Important

Equally mentioned above, you can employ a backslash to create a new binder upon execution. Please be aware that, at this point - until a fix is committed, all special charaters are not filtered. For example: giving a preset a name with "i/4" in it, will besides unintentionally create a folder. A colon : will event in corrupted files. For a complete listing, meet File and Directory Names in the WIN32 Local File Systems docs..

Y'all can also choose to retain the original concluding modified date on the resized image.

Machine width/height

You can exit the superlative or width empty. This will honor the specified dimension and "lock" the other dimension to a value proportional to the original image aspect ratio.
