Hi Crae,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

You can resize the photo to the desired size through Photo Gallery app. Follow the below steps to resize the photos.

1. Open the Start menu, type Photo gallery in the search box and click on Photo Gallery (Desktop app).

2. Accept the agreement to install Window essentials 2012 if prompted (Enter the admin credentials if needed).

3. Now you may open the photo location from the left navigation pane on the photo Gallery app.

4. Select the photo and right click and select Resize.

I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

Hi,

I think Photos app in Windows 10 definitely needs a "resize" function.

This does not help. When I type in Photo Gallery...it takes me to my photo gallery.   Nothing comes up asking about installing anything.  I am trying to print a photo after resizing it and there is no way t resize.  I went into paint and reduced from 100% to 25% to trying to make a smaller picture and all it did was make it blurry.

Hi -- NataliePapandrea
I have ABSOLUTELY no affiliation to Microsoft (nor do I want to be one of their advisors) ..

I am just a user of their old XP systems, who discovered a lot more about "how" to use paint, that most people will ever know..

Simply opening a picture in paint and "immediately" shrinking it down to 25 %(which by the way -- is an amazingly SMALL size -- even if you had an A1 size to begin with - which I doubt....
As that simply doesn't work.
All that does is "miniaturize" the overall look .. to create a fuzzy avatar result.

What you need to do .. is open it in paint.. and "save as" a modified name --
ie: picture to resize (in full tone - 256 colour bitmap)

Then -- select all and open the "resize option" .. and TEST shrinking .. the saved-as version .. to see to what extent you CAN resize down into?
Then save THAT as a slightly different file name -- such as shrink one.png ?

Then print it off .. to see if it LOOKS as good =as it should.. because the "shrunken preview" you get in Paint.. isn't always the actual PRINTED AS "result"..

I myself would NEVER consider shrinking below 50% as that's equivalent to 1/4 the size of the original - at which tiny size .. yes you WILL start to get a fuzzy shrunken grape look...

Try and test.. and re-test, then test some more..
Never just do and wonder why it looks wrong.!!!

Not helpful.  I get the same problems as the other user.  When I type in Photo Gallery, I just get my photos sans any property editing tab.  I do not get any prompt on downloading a desktop app.  Please help!!

Try something else then...

Surely in your "printer preferences" (the settings of your printer "functionality" itself) there will be a settings option for "re-sizing" ANY document (notepad, written document, scanned thing, &/or picture etc.,) BEFORE printing anything.

All one needs to do .. is "start" the print function, and then select PRINTER PREFERENCES

Opening that - should reveal a whole heap of quirky things to do:

Such as...
BORDERLESS (full size one picture no border)
Landscape (sideways on - horizontal)
Foolscap (normal vertical page look)B&W, or various "colour rendering" options.

You "should" even have the OPTION, of "printing multiple pictures, ONE ONE PAGE ..

Which by the way -- is the absolute easiest (quick) way to resize anything, by pprinting TWO pictures on the one A4 paper, you automatically get TYWO "half size pictures, just cut the paper in half & toss the other picture in the rubbish bin..
Bingo ..
A HALF SIZE PICTURE..

Or.. try other "multiple picture options on a single A4 printout.

That's possibly the easiest, worry free way -- to downsize ANY picture ..
Or.. you canb "struggle' with whatever hard to find "photo gallery options there are, to re-size (in viewing mode only I am guessing) pictures for viewing ON YOUR SCREEN, which will most likely never print at a reduced size later, OR...
?
Try something else..

Such as..
In PRE-VIEW PRINT (even if you HAVE forgotten to "select & SAVE" printer preferences)

There is a wee cog along the upper left taskbar, which SHOULD allow you to "alter" such weird things as

MARGINS

Which (funnily enough) ..
IF YOU MAKE THE MARGINS LARGE (the resultant "printed picture" IS FORCED to only "fit" between the margins, thus rendering the "printed output..
AS SMALL AS YOU WANT IT TO BE..
Works for me -- when I have to "select print" (with no printer options) and ONLY get the "ready to print' page, as the MARGINS OPTIONS, is still available

Re:
Your original question on August 11th (2015)
With respect to the inability to get (yet another useless MS program) "Photo Viewer" &/or the app (of same name) to work for you, with respect to "resizing anything.

[quote]

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resize photos in Windows 10.  Photo Viewer does not have the function, photos app does not have the function either.  The windows 7 method of right clicking and changing either single or batch photos is no longer there, and microsofts own support page for image resizing applies to windows 7, not windows 10.

Resizing photos is 40% of my work, am really in a bind not being able to do so.  Hoping someone can help!!!

[unquote]

Are you ONLY attempting to "resize" the photo's & pictures, for "saving them as smaller file sizes" (without losing too much quality), or are you trying to "resize" for printing purposes (to get a smaller actual printer size output), or are you trying to resize for another reason.?

I am "just an old XP paint user, who is also being "forced" to try to work with (what now appear to be very) useless win 8.1/ win 10 "programs" .. who is "remembering' various self-discovered "options & tricks" that I used, back in the days, before I actually FOUND the "in-program" resizing functions.

I found upon "printing" that I could "easily" make small (just as clear) resizings of pictures, by "pre-viewing the printer preferences, for "printing-out, not just borderless pictures at "one per page" - (or heavens forbid .. "NEEDING" FOUR OR SIX >>> A4 PAGES -- "per single POSTER size picture", as I blindly found one day -- when "playing with the printer's own settings").

So -- maybe forget about trying to "find" a way to print-out anything in a pre-shrunk (reduced) size, from the program itself, and simply "make the printer decide, how many "smaller pictures" it will print, on a single A4 page, and then "toss away" (by guillotining off) the unused extra prints, saving just the single SMALL PRINTED PICTURE, obtained fro a single A4 print-out.
If you "select" say ?
PRINT TEN FRAMES PER A4 PAGE ..
Then all 10 pictures (on that single sheet of A4) will be one TENTH of their single A4 print size.

If however, you ONLY want to shrink a file, into a much smaller file "size" for saving purposes..?

Surely there are other save-as options, possibly in a different format, or maybe even just by "opening the file", in a different program could help, (& yes I use PAINT mostly), as there may also be a "photo editing program", that is available (for free) somewhere on the internet, which will allow you to "resize" ALL of your pictures & photos, completely OUTSIDE of your (obviously useless) MS photo gallery program, that will thus then allow you to resize the picture/photo before re-placing it back = into the (useless) photo gallery program (as it would then be in a smaller "edited" size).

This is a solution for printing, but I am trying to resize to load pictures into web programs that have size restrictions, like 2MB and5MB.
