How to create a square thumb ?

[Amade]

Hi
I need to create to create a lot (>10 000) of thumbs from several pictures, with different sizes and orientations.
The result could be : 120 x 120 in the original orientation, with truncature of the rectangular parts to become a square.
Like this :

• 1204 x 840 ---resize-ratio---> 172 x 120 ----canvas center---> 120 x 120
• 840 x 1204 ---resize-ratio---> 120 x 172 ----canvas center---> 120 x 120
• 600 x 800 ---resize-ratio---> 120 x 160 ----canvas center---> 120 x 120

Do you have an idea to manage the different orientations ?

Thanks

Alain

I believe this can only be done in XnView.
What's missing though is an option to crop images of varying sizes and orientations in a centered fashion.

• Enhance resize in Batch Convert
• What is "Fit over (W or H)"
• scaling to the shorter side
• Resize in Batch conversion
• Batch Resize ->Fit Over: Square Ratios
• Is "fit over" working?
• Does NConvert support "Fit Over (W or H)" features?

Thank you for your answer.
I understood, it's mandatory to use the GUI Xnview to start the conversion.
Actually, I need a command line to insert it in a batch process script.
I found an another method below.
Thank's
