How to Crop, Resize and Rename Many Photos at Once (Same Ratio, One ZIP)

Short answer: open Imgovo’s Batch Photo Editor, add up to 300 photos, choose one crop ratio, fix single photos where the automatic crop is wrong, set the output size, add an optional watermark, choose file names and download everything as a ZIP. It all runs in your browser.

When this helps

• Editors and publishers: the same ratio for every picture in an article or gallery.
• Online shops: product photos that all share one frame.
• Social media: a set of posts that fit the same format.
• Events and albums: hundreds of photos that need a common size and clean file names.

What the editor accepts

You can mix JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF and camera RAW files in one batch. GIF, AVIF, BMP and TIFF are also accepted. Files are recognised by their content, not by their names, and an unreadable file is marked with its reason without stopping the rest.

Step 1: Crop

Choose the ratio for the whole batch:

Group	Options
Basic	No crop (keep the whole photo), Square 1:1, Golden ratio, Custom
Photo and print	16:9, 9:16, 3:2, 2:3, 4:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5×7, 8×10
Cinema	1.375:1, 1.85:1, 2.20:1
Social media	Instagram Post, Facebook Cover, YouTube Cover, Pinterest Pin

Direction: choose Automatic (each photo keeps landscape or portrait), Landscape for all, or Portrait for all. This matters when a batch mixes upright and wide photos.

Which part is kept: the automatic crop keeps the centre, top, bottom, left side or right side. It is a plain geometric crop with no recognition of faces or subjects. A group photo with people near the top may need the “top” setting or a manual fix.

Fix single photos

Select a photo, then drag the frame to move it or drag a corner to resize it. On the keyboard, the arrow keys move the frame and Shift plus the arrow keys change its size. A photo you have changed is marked Individual, and the others still follow the group setting.

Buttons to know:

• Apply this crop to all photos
• Reset this photo
• Reset individual adjustments

When you change the group ratio later, an individually cropped photo keeps the centre and zoom of its frame, and the frame takes the new ratio around that centre.

Step 2: Resize

Choose how the finished size is set: keep the cropped size, a preset (social media and standard sizes), width × height, percentage, or longest side. The Do not enlarge small photos option prevents upscaling, which keeps small photos from turning soft. With an exact size and “Fill”, the size determines the crop shape.

For background on resizing and quality, see How to resize an image without losing quality. For platform sizes, see the social media image sizes cheat sheet.

Step 3: Watermark (optional)

Add a text or a logo, with size, colour, style (soft shadow, outline or plain), opacity and margin. There are nine positions on a grid plus Repeat diagonally across the whole photo. The watermark is drawn after cropping and resizing, so its size is relative to the finished photo, and the preview matches the output. The logo file is not saved in presets. If you only need a watermark, the dedicated Add Watermark tool is simpler, as explained in How to add a watermark to photos.

Step 4: File names

Choose Name and number or Keep the original names. For numbered names you set a name, the first number, the number of digits and a separator (hyphen, underscore, space, dot or none). Numbers follow the list order, and a failed photo keeps its number, so the others do not shift. Names are made safe: slashes and characters Windows does not allow become an underscore, while letters such as č, ć, š, ž, đ and ü are kept. No two photos get the same name.

Step 5: Export

• Formats: JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF.
• Quality: the default is 90, which affects file size for JPG, WebP and AVIF.
• Background: applies to JPG, and to margins or transparent areas when transparency is off.
• Keep transparency: available for PNG, WebP and AVIF.
• Animated files: GIF, WebP and AVIF animations export as a single picture, the first frame.
• Orientation: photos are turned upright according to their orientation data.
• Colour: output uses the browser’s standard sRGB canvas, so photos with other colour profiles may look slightly different.

Click Process photos, then Download ZIP, or download photos one by one.

What is not kept

The photos are redrawn from pixels. EXIF data, including GPS location and camera details, and IPTC/XMP fields such as credit and caption, are not copied. This is good for privacy, see How to remove GPS location and EXIF data, but a news or stock workflow may need the credit. Put it into the watermark text or in the file names.

Presets

You can save crop, resize, watermark, file name and export settings under a name, in this browser only. Presets never include the photos or the logo, so choose the logo again after loading a preset.

RAW files and speed

RAW files are developed by the tool when possible. If that fails, the embedded JPEG preview is used and noted next to the photo. Developing RAW is slow, especially on phones.

If something goes wrong

The page shows how many photos were processed and how many failed, and never presents a partial batch as complete. If some photos fail, the ZIP contains the successful ones and a file named _errors.txt that lists each failure and its reason.

Do it now

Open the Batch Photo Editor, add your photos and choose a ratio. For a single image with a free or locked ratio, Crop Image is enough.
