Sketch Resize

Resize (not scale) multiple layers at once via shortcut

Sketch Resize is a plugin made for Sketch. It provides unproportional, unconstrained resize for multiple selected layer. It's triggered via shortcut, and doesn't require to reach nor focus the inspector panel.

Given a selection containing multiple layers, Resize tries to avoid the following limitations:

• The scale layers feature (cmd+k) affects width, height, and some other properties at once, proportionally
• After focusing the inspector panel via shortcut (alt+tab), in order to resize anything we need to tab twice, enter the width, tab once, enter the height, blur the panel (or press enter)
• The inspector panel could be very far away from the current position of the mouse cursor
• Nudging and dragging could be slow, or imprecise

Installation

Manual

• Uncompress the downloaded file
• Double-click Sketch Resize.sketchplugin to install

Via Sketch Runner

Some additional notes

• The plugin can be used on single layers, too
• Width/height can be both declared at once. Leaving a field empty, or in its default state (%w/%h) will skip the related dimension
• Width/height input fields accepts basic math operations (ie.%w+%h+(10+20)-8/4*2), where %w/%h are references to the original size of each layer
• Press tab to focus between the width/height input fields, and cancel/confirm buttons
• Press esc to close the panel and leave the dimensions unchanged
• Pressing enter will always trigger the confirm button, no matter the focused element

Integrations

Sketch Resize is fully integrated with Sketch Runner, the ultimate tool to speed up your Sketch workflow. You can trigger the plugin by simply typing its name.

sketch-resize's Issues

[Feature Request] Resize from current dimensions

This plugin would be really useful if it could use the object's current width or height as a wildcard for math operations.

Let's say I have 3 rectangles with the dimensions:
32x32, 64x32, 128x32.

I want to make them all 32 pixels wider. So in the width field:
Width = '%w+32'
and would get:
64x32, 96x32, 160x32.

Or, I could use the width value in the height field to get proportioned objects:
Height = '%w*9/16'
and would get:
32x18, 64x36, 128x72

That'd be awesome, right?

Add support for Top, Bottom, Left, Right anchors

Ciao Luca,awesome job with the plugin. Kudos to you.

I was wondering if it's possible in a next release to have the resizing anchoring point support.
Currently using the Sketch UI I'm able to set the anchor point from which the resizing action propagates by just adding one of the following t=Top, b= Bottom, l=:Left ,r=Right.

Add %w+8r will add 8 new pixels on the lefthand side of the object keeping the right point anchored (hence the R)

Is this something you'd consider?

Not working in Sketch 74.1

The plugin doesn't open when the resize command is given.
