Batch Percentage Resizing in Photoshop

There’s definitely an art to resizing logos. All logos are different, and when displaying a lot of them together on a page you have to be really careful that each logo is easily seen and that no one logo is more prominent than the other.

Recently, after painstakingly going through over 100 logos to ensure all logos were sized respectfully, it became important to have multiple versions of each logo in varying sizes. So instead of going through and trying to resize each logo individually, I created a percentage resize action in Photoshop, and batch processed the logos within seconds.

Here’s How …

1. Create a new “Action” in the “Actions” tab group.
2. Hit the record icon to start recording your action.
3. In the menu, go to “Image” > “Mode” and select “RGB Color” to ensure that your image is not in “Index Color” mode, or the resized image will severely degrade.
4. Go to “Image” > “Image Size” and change “pixels” to “percent” and ensure that the dimensions ratio is linked.
5. Change the percentage of the image to the desired percentage and click on the “Ok” button.
6. Go to “Layer” > “Flatten Image” to ensure all images you are processing become flattened during the batch process.
7. If you will be converting your images to “Index Color”, perform that conversion now.
8. Hit the “Stop” icon in the “Actions” tab group to stop recording.
9. To start your batch processing, click on “File” > “Automate…” > Batch.
10. Under the “Play” section, find your new action and select it.
11. Configure all other options to your liking and run the batch process.
