Hello,
So I have been trying to find a solution to my image compression issue for a while now and I came across this code in vb. Net

I have no idea how to understand it. But I have the feeling it's closer to my need.

I have a folder which contains these images of various sizes that I want to reduce their sizes. As low as 30kb to 50kb is okay. I am not interested in the quality here if that will be an obstacle.

So that when I run the code, then we look into that folder and locate all images above the 50kb then re-save them to that 50kb.

Yeah that's what I can think of now.

If there is a better way to achieve this please highlight that for me.

Doing it manually will not be an option here since there may be few images involved. Say 700:laugh:;):rofl::rofl:

Okay thanks @mole999, I will give it a try.

However , I wish I can have a script embedded in my workbook that will do the job for me.

The reason being that the images will be added periodically and dragging into that desk icon always will be a bit of issue.

play with it, the program will only reduce to what you specify. I use PhotoResize800MSOEV as the setting, works from the file name which resizes to 800x600, copy the MetaData, skip files smaller than specified size, process straight away, preserve filestamps, auto rotate from EXIF info.

Dragging a single folder of 700 files will process all the Jpg files

The following ResizeImageFile SUB should resize image files (BMPs,JPEGs, PNGs ... etc)

Based on a few tests, the image resolution quality worked for me best with JPGES.

2- Usage example :

The following Macro should make a 50 kbs copy of the image file C:\Test\A.JPG and save it as C:\Test\B.JPG

If you want to simply resize the source image file without making a copy of it, just omit the 3rd optional argument (DestinationFileCopy)

Code: 
Sub Test()

    Call ResizeImageFile(SourceFile:="C:\Test\A.JPG", NewFileSize:=50000, DestinationFileCopy:="C:\Test\B.JPG")

End Sub

Cool!!!


Very sweet :).

A few issues I am facing:

1. I want to set the location to "ThisWorkbook.Path\Images" folder. Having tough time figuring it out.
2. Is it possible to scan through the folder and then resize all images above 50kb?

Kelly

Did you try the code on a single image file ? and if so, did it work for you as expected ?

Also, Which versions of office and Windows are you using ?

1. I want to set the location to "ThisWorkbook.Path\Images" folder. Having tough time figuring it out.

Are you saying that the Images folder is in the same path as the calling workbook ?

2. Is it possible to scan through the folder and then resize all images above 50kb?

You could easily use FileSystemObject or just the native vba Dir,FileLen etc functions to iterate and verify the image files .

Regards.

Yes it did work as expected. The reason I used the "very sweet"

I am using office 2016 and Windows 8

Yes

Okay. But I don't know how to use those to iterate and do the verification.

Thanks
