The images will be instantly edited and resized without you having to open any kind of extra tool. Now, select any number of image files in question, right-click, hit Services, and select the workflow we just made. Select Save from the File menu and give the workflow a name. Change the pixel size from 480 to anything you want. The Scale Images section will show options for resizing images. In this example, we’re going with Don’t Add. If you want to keep the originals, select Add. Now search for an item that says Get selected Finder Items and drag it to the Workflow view. Search for Scale Images and do the same.Īutomator will now ask if you want to create a copy of the file before it is modified. To specify that we’ll be working with images, select Image files from the dropdown menu beside Service receives selected. You’ll now see the Library view listing apps, actions, and the workflow details.

Choose New Document. Now from the Choose Type document, select Service. To get started, open the Automator app from the Applications folder. You’ll see a window asking you to open an existing document or create a new one. We’ll be using Services instead of folders so we can do this for images anywhere on the Mac. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just select the photos, right-click, select an option and have the photos resized and transported to a defined folder? Read on to find out how we can achieve that.
