I work with a LOT of photographers and surprisingly some of them have NEVER heard of Blogstomp.

So, what is it?

Blogstomp allows you to import as many images as you want and do two main things:

  1. Set the width of each image to be “X” amount and hit one button to export them all at that width. It ensures all your images are the same size.
  2. Combine two vertical images (or whatever combination of images you want) into one horizontal image.

Typically people don’t have one vertical image full width in a blog post because it tends to be too big and looks odd compared to the horizontal images. Blogstomp lets you combine two verticals into one horizontal so you can avoid that awkwardness!

I always suggest to my clients to combine their vertical images to make horizontal ones in galleries because single vertical images tend to look odd as well mixed in a gallery with horizontal images.

Not only can you do the two things above but you an do so MUCH more including setting the file name extension of all images being exported for SEO purposes. Let’s say you want all your image files to display your business name plus the name of the shoot. No problem! Do it in a batch export.
