Photo/Batch Resize Program

[Admiral Snackbar]

OK so quick to the point. I have a website with an images folder that is almost 40gb, many thousands of images. Different aspect ratios, different file types. I need a program that will batch resize anything above say 1000px, but maintain the aspect ratio, original file type, and extension. I cannot convert all of the photos to a common format without breaking links, most of the batch programs I have tried if I throw in .jpg, .jpeg, and .JPG will export everything as .jpg which would invalidate a bunch of links on my site. 

 

The only thing I have that is even remotely close right now is Irfanview, it recognizes the difference in .JPG .jpg and .jpeg and maintains the extensions and can search for anything above a set height or width, however it cannot export multiple file types at once. ie if i throw someimage1.jpg, someimage2.jpeg and someimage3.png in I will get someimage1.jpg, someimage2.jpeg and someimage3.jpg back.

 

I have Lightroom and Photoshop as well but I don't see the functionality I need in either of those. Lightroom does have the option to export original format, but if you choose that option it greys out the option to resize so that isnt helpful

 

If anyone has a suggestion please let me know

If I am not mistaken Photoshop has the ability to do something like this. I have done it before with it. Give me a moment to recall what I did.

 

Edit: In Photoshop go to File, Scripts, Image Processor.

Photoshop seems to have the most limited capability. The image processor only allows for resizing and exporting as a jpg, psd, or tiff

Why not just write your own program? Doing something like this in Java would only take a few minutes.....

I think I found what you are looking for mate. The resizer: http://www.obviousidea.com/windows-software/light-image-resizer/ 

 

Also found this neat program, a bulk renaming utility: http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php

Because I haven't written any programs in Java since like college which was 3+ years ago and It would take me more time to remember/google everything I need to know than it would to just sort out all the different file types

Fair enough, but, getting some programming skills de-atrophied could certainly come in handy for other things. All I meant to say is that it is worth considering.

YOU SIR, are a gentleman and a scholar. I don't think you understand how much time and headache you just solved. 

 

This $20 program just beat out Lightroom and Photoshop. I will post back in a bit and let you know how much server space I am about to save too haha
