Crop multiple images in preview

I can't find the correct answer to this issue. I would like to open multiple images (I have hundreds to do), as tabs in preview, use the marquee to select, then select all of the images and crop.

The issue is that even with all of them selected, it is only cropping the active image.

The "edit size" has not worked, as I only need to crop horizontally, and that option distorts the image.


The next issue I am running into is that when closing the document, it is asking me to select save for every single image. This is taking me forever! HELP!

This is exactly what I did, and it wouldn't crop. It just adjusted to a smaller width, which skewed the images.


And it is still asking me to save every single one.

To batch convert all images need to be the same size in Preview.app


Preview>Settings>Images>Open all Images in one Window


Preview>View>Show Thumbnails in sidebar... Command A is select all


Preview>Tools>Adjust Size
