Advertisement For my MakeUseOf articles I’m constantly resizing images so that they will fit into our page template. As a result, I go through a lot of repetitive actions with GIMP, the free image editing program. After a quick Google search, I found a powerful tool to help me save a ton of time by batch image resizing. GIMP doesn’t have a built-in batch editing feature because one of the ideas behind the software is that users will create their own scripts and add-ons to enhance it as they need it.

If you’re a Windows user, download the zip archive in that same section and unzip them to somewhere easily accessible (the desktop is fine). Unzip that file (simply called “dbp”) and place it in the folder at this location on your computer “C: Program Files GIMP-2.0 lib gimp 2.0 plug-ins.” This is the default location of course, you may have named the program folder something other than “GIMP-2.0” if you made modifications to the installer.
