: Batch processing images to be proportional I have a series of small images, all on white backgrounds. Some of them are square proportioned, others are rectangular proportioned; either vertically

@Ogunnowo857

I won't go into detail about the batch process. It should be enough to know that you can run a script through the File > Automate > Batch... by first making a Photoshop Action, where you open a script file: File > Scripts > Browse.... Obviously you can also do more things within that same Action.

I'm not exactly confident I understand what you want, so I'm posting 2 scripts. Make a new .jsx file where you paste one of these scripts and use that in the action.

These both work with portrait and landscape images.

Image to square - Shrink script.jsx:



var rUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docWidth = doc.width;
var docHeight = doc.height;
var newSize = docWidth > docHeight ? docHeight : docWidth;

app.activeDocument.resizeCanvas( newSize, newSize, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER );

app.preferences.rulerUnits = rUnits;




Image to square - Grow script.jsx:



The extended background color comes from the background color set in the toolbar.

var rUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var docWidth = doc.width;
var docHeight = doc.height;
var newSize = docWidth > docHeight ? docWidth : docHeight;

app.activeDocument.resizeCanvas( newSize, newSize, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER );

app.preferences.rulerUnits = rUnits;
