While working on moving WP Mayor to Genesis, I needed image resizing on the fly functionality, as the old theme used Timthumb and I wanted to get rid of that for a number of reasons.

I spent some time researching and in the end settled on a script named BFI Thumb, which is freely available on GitHub. Posting it here in the hope that it might save someone some research.

  1. Well, Photoshop does this too. It has automated/batch processing which is quite reliable and (mostly) easy to use. You can set it up to deliver a range of sizes all in one go. And, no limit on the number of images to process. Set it up, say “go!” and get a cup of tea while it all happens.
