Download Microsoft Office Picture Manager 2022 Full version

Do you miss the Microsoft Office Picture Manager? You can install it from an old version of Sharepoint Designer or an old Microsoft Office disc.

Microsoft Office Picture Manager was included as part of Office 2010 and earlier versions. You could use it to view, edit, and manage your pictures.

Office 2010 was the last version of Office that included Picture Manager, and Microsoft has not updated Picture Manager since Office 2003. As a result, the program is ancient and out-of-date.

But if you liked Picture Manager, and its features are all you need, you can install it on your computer without uninstalling your current version of Office. You can install Picture Manager from an Office 2010, 2007, or 2003 installation disc if you have one. If not, you can download SharePoint Designer 2010 and install it from there.

We’ll show you where you can download SharePoint Designer 2010 and how to install only Picture Manager from it.

Download SharePoint Designer 2010

SharePoint Designer 2010 is available as a free download from Microsoft. Use one of the links below to download it.

  • 32-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16573
  • 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24309

Install Microsoft Picture Manager Using SharePoint Designer 2010

The procedure for installing Picture Manager from an earlier Office version or SharePoint Designer 2010 is the same, so it doesn’t matter which way you do it.

Download the SharePoint Designer 2010 setup program using one of the links above and double-click the file to run it.

If the User Account Control dialog box displays, click Yes to continue.

Note: You may not see this dialog box, depending on your User Account Control settings. But we don’t recommend disabling UAC entirely.

This turns off all parts of Sharepoint Designer, but next, we’ll turn one back on.

If you’re installing Microsoft Office Picture Manager from Office 2010, 2007, or 2003, more modules are available. Make sure you make all the modules Not Available.

Everything is set to Not Available, even the Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Click the button next to Microsoft Office Picture Manager and select Run from My Computer.

If you’re using an Office 2010, 2007, or 2003 installation, the Microsoft Office Picture Manager should also be under Office Tools.

Run Microsoft Office Picture Manager

We found that we didn’t need to reboot our computer to complete the setup. But you might want to reboot anyway to make sure the setup process is completed.

Once you’ve rebooted, you’ll find the Microsoft Office Picture Manager under Recently added on the Start menu in Windows 10. The Microsoft Office Picture Manager is also available on the Start menu in the Microsoft Office group.

If you’re using Windows 8, the Microsoft Office Picture Manager may not get added to the Start screen. But you can do a search on the Start screen for “picture manager” to find it and open it.

Stick With What Works for You

The Microsoft Office Picture Manager may not have all the bells and whistles available in modern photo management tools. Still, if it has everything you need, you can install it and use it to manage your photos and pictures.

SharePoint Designer 2010 was the last version that included Picture Manager. You should save the installation file if you need to reinstall it or install it on another computer. Who knows for how long it will be available from Microsoft?

    I get about half way through the installation and it stops. I then receive a message that the installation “encountered an error,” and it stops. What is the problem and how can I get around it?

    Brilliant, thanks! Picture Manager (and also the similarly removed Movie Maker) are so much easier to use and with more features than the horrible Metro style replacements. I have Photoshop but PM is just so much easier for simple editing tasks. I use it all the time for the resize function for which MS Photos is useless.

    After I have Office Picture Manager on my computer do I have to keep Office Share point Designer 2010? I am getting a awful lot of updates offered by Windows update that seems to think I have Office 2010 on my computer. Can Office Picture Manager work without Office Share Point it was taken from? I would like to uninstall Office SharePoint 2010 from Programs and Features.

    Well I uninstalled Office SharePoint 2010 and sure enough Office Picture Manager went with it. I had hoped that would not happen; that maybe picture manager would stand alone. I think I will give it up because to keep it means installing, at this point, 55 more updates for Office 2010 on top of the 3 I did download/install. (All three uninstalled with SharePoint and Picture Manager.) So I seem to be clean of Office 2010 updates and SharePoint 2010. Disappointed about loosing Picture Manager. Oh well.

    Thanks for this! I follow your posts and this one in particular was a life saver. Picture Manager has always been my go-to for quick photo resizing which the new Microsoft phot app doesn’t have. I don’t always want to open Photoshop for quick jobs so very pleased!
    Appreciate what you do!

    OMG!!! Thank you so much. I finally upgraded to Microsoft 365 but did not realize that Picture Manager would be gone. I’m an eBay seller and I used nothing else to save, edit and upload to eBay, in addition to personal photos. I managed to transfer Picture Manager with its photos from my hard drive to my desktop and all 7000 pictures are there. However, I can’t save to it or upload from it, so I need to copy and paste in several different places before I can get an image where where I want it. And the new images, I don’t like editing on anything this new version of Microsoft has to offer. I’ve been close to tears sometimes. Thanks again. You made my day!!!

    Thank you so much! This is fab, I have been looking for a utility which allows me to crop to an exact size, pixel-by-pixel, like the old Microsoft Photo Editor, but it’s all drag-the-rectangle these days. So pleased to have found this :)
