I dont really know how to explain this, but..

How do you resize images by batch on photoshop where it scales based on the smaller dimension.

So basically, i want images to resize to 200×200 and I want the image to take the smaller dimension, center the image, then crop the excess of the bigger dimension.

Is there a way to do this?

I hope I make sense.

  1. Go to Image > Image Size.

    This will bring up the Image Size dialog box, as shown below:

  2. This script will resize the image so that the smallest dimension will become 200 and then crop it to 200 x 200

    app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
    
    // call the source document
    var srcDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var imageWidth = srcDoc.width.value;
    var imageHeight = srcDoc.height.value;
    var ts = 200;
    
    if (imageHeight < imageWidth)
    {
      // landscape
      var h = 200;
      var w = Math.floor((imageWidth/imageHeight)*h);
    }
    else
    {
      // portrait
      var w = 200;
      var h = Math.floor((imageHeight/imageWidth)*w);
    }
    srcDoc.resizeImage(w, h, 72, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC);
    
    //crop it in the centre
    app.activeDocument.resizeCanvas(ts, ts, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
