How to resize all / multiple images in Word?

1. To show the picture’s sizing handles by clicking on the picture;

2. Put the cursor on one of the picture’s sizing handles.

3. Drag the sizing handle until the picture size is suitable for your needs. See screenshot:

Note: With this method, you cannot resize multiple pictures all at once. You need to resize them one by one until all pictures are resized.

Resize images with VBA

With the following VBA code, you can resize pictures to your ideal size. You can get it done as follow：

In this example, we resize the picture size to 1.78 inches height and 3.17 inches width.

1. Please select a picture you want to change the size;

2. Press Alt+F11 to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window;

3. Click Module from Insert tab, copy and paste the following VBA code into the Module window;

VBA code: Resize one image to specific size:

Sub ResizePics()
Dim shp As Word.Shape
Dim ishp As Word.InlineShape
If Word.Selection.Type <> wdSelectionInlineShape And _
Word.Selection.Type <> wdSelectionShape Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Word.Selection.Type = wdSelectionInlineShape Then
Set ishp = Word.Selection.Range.InlineShapes(1)
ishp.LockAspectRatio = False
ishp.Height = InchesToPoints(1.78)
ishp.Width = InchesToPoints(3.17)
Else
If Word.Selection.Type = wdSelectionShape Then
Set shp = Word.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
shp.LockAspectRatio = False
shp.Height = InchesToPoints(1.78)
shp.Width = InchesToPoints(3.17)
End If
End If
End Sub

4. Click Run button or F5 key to run the VBA code, and the selected image has been resized to your need size.

Note:  In the above code,  In shp.Height = InchesToPoints(1.78 ) and shp.Width = InchesToPoints(3.17) are the height and width of the picture,  you can change the size to meet your need.

With this VBA code, you also cannot resize all or multiple picture at once. You need to go back and forth between the Word document and the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window to select the picture and apply the code. That’s too time-consuming.
