Question

Automation of resizing without distortion for PNGs

I am an editor for a local design studio and with all logos (and PNGs otherwise) being different sizes, I wanted to standardize the sizes. I have done batch edits through the 'Automation' Tab with presets on images and graphics but want to know how one would begin to set up an action for the automation tab to make, for example, all Logos/PNGs 3000x3000 at 300 dpi (And they need to be 3000x3000 Px artboard). In trying to figure this out I have made some that 'Fit Image' etc but the artboard would change to the proportions of the PNG/Logo, and when saved, wouldn't be the 1:1 ratio I was looking for. If anybody could help, this would save me a ton of time as I would be manually doing this for 500+ assets.

Fit Image to standardize to 3000 pixels long side, then Canvas Size to expand short side to 3000 pixels.

Do you have square files to start with? In Fit Image it says: Constrain Within and won't make rectangular file > square.

Sadly the photographer shot this in 4:3, which means I cant just resize the original artboard etc to auto-enlarge

So you have three choices:

1) Crop, deleting content

2) Enlarge canvas to square, content aware fill

3) Content aware scale, protecting a key subject element

For 500 images, you are going to need to decide which quantity will require different methods. You can pre-sort in Bridge and then process accordingly.

There are no magic answers.

Are you wanting to alter/standardise the original files or export out a series of standardised files?

The Client is requesting all PNGs to read out as 3000x3000, Which I can do just by making a PNG fit to a 3000x3000 board but haven't been able to automate the process so I don't have to manually do it for 500 images sadley

Is this Photoshop or Photoshop Elements?

Edit: Here is a screenshot of an example action, it uses a conditional action to process flattened with a white background vs. transparent background differently:
