Batch resizing and converting photos in XnView MP (or XnView Classic) is handled through its powerful Batch Convert utility. This tool allows you to process hundreds of images simultaneously, change their file formats, and alter their dimensions without losing quality. Step 1: Open the Batch Convert Tool Launch XnView MP.
Navigate to the top menu and click Tools > Batch convert… (or use the shortcut Ctrl + U on Windows). A large configuration window with several tabs will appear. Step 2: Import Your Photos (Input Tab) Click on the Input tab at the top-left of the window.
Click Add files to select individual images, or Add folder to import an entire directory of photos.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop your images or folders directly into the empty space. Step 3: Add the Resize Rule (Action Tab) Switch to the Action tab.
Click on the Add action dropdown menu, hover over Image, and select Resize. Configure your desired resizing parameters:
Mode: Choose how the dimensions scale (e.g., Fit to maintain aspect ratio, Percent to scale down by a specific ratio like 50%, or Longest Side to uniformize orientation). Width / Height: Enter your target dimensions.
Resample: Keep this on Lanczos or Bicubic for the best structural quality when downscaling. Step 4: Set Format and Destination (Output Tab) Click on the Output tab.
Folder: Click the … button to choose where to save your new images. To save them in a subfolder inside the original directory, type $ esized.
Format: Open the dropdown menu to choose your target file extension (e.g., JPEG, PNG, or WebP).
Settings (Optional): Click the Settings button next to the format dropdown to adjust compression quality (e.g., sliding JPEG quality to 80% to vastly reduce file sizes). Step 5: Execute the Conversion Review your settings across the tabs. Click the Convert (or Go) button at the bottom right.
