Do you have loads of great images that you want to resize to fit your website's design? Follow our step-by-step guide to resize images in bulk using the free software, PIXresizer. It's so easy that, whether you're a technical wizard or an online novice, you'll find it simple to resize all your images at once to fit your site.

Well first of all you need to install the software, it is free and you can download it here: http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm (halfway down the page there is a headline called Free Download)

After installing the software you are now ready to resize the images. So create a folder on the desktop (call it original) and put all your large images inside of it.

You then need to create another folder (call it resized) butleave this folder empty.

Open the programme (there should be an icon on your desktop called PIXresizer)

Select the "Work with multiple files" tab

Click "Source" and find your image folder (the one we called original)

If you have folders inside this folder tick "Subfolders" above

Next you should click "Destination" and pick the folder where you would like the resized images to be saved (the one we called resized)

Moving on to step 2 you tick want to tick "Equal Height"

That means you want to change the height. For the purpose of this tutorial lets say you want the images to be 500 pixels high, that is a reasonable size to work with. So either drag the toggle or use the arrows to increase or decrease the amount.

In step 3 you only want to make sure that you have selected "JPEG" as your file format.

And finally in step 4 you click "Save Pictures"

You let the programme process all the images, you can follow the progress in the percent bar

Once you have gotten the alert telling you the resizing has been done you click "OK" after which you can find all your resized images in the folder on your desktop (the one you called resized).
