Windows XP's powertoy for resizing images was so convenient and popular, that people demanded it for future versions of Windows too. Linux however, seemed to lack such a feature, and people used to suggest using a bash script or GIMP to perform batch conversions.
There's a far simpler way now. Bitron software created Nautilus Image Converter which when installed, gives you image resize and rotate options in the right click menu itself. Really handy.
For Ubuntu, install it using:
sudo apt install imagemagick
sudo apt-get install nautilus-image-converter
nautilus -q
For Linux Mint, install it using:
sudo apt install imagemagick
sudo apt-get install nemo-image-converter
nemo -q
The "-q" is to stop nautilus (the file manager for Ubuntu that's the equivalent of Windows Explorer) or nemo (the file manager for Mint). You can restart the file manager by just clicking on any folder or the "Files" icon or by opening a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and typing "nautilus".
Now when you right-click on images, you'll see a "Resize images" option. So simply select all images and resize them.
