Microsoft Office Picture Manager is a software program included with recent versions of the Microsoft Office suite for Windows. It is a basic image-editing program, designed to be similar to iPhoto and other such programs. It replaced Microsoft Photo Editor, which was included in Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2000.

The Picture Manager has a few capabilities not present in the Paint program included with Windows, but not too many. It has the ability to crop, resize, and convert images between various formats, but for more than just very basic tasks users would probably wish to use a more powerful program such as Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks, or The GIMP.

It also features more advanced features such as batch editing/saving/renaming, fine-tuning of midtones, highlights, and shadows. On the other hand, it sports easy-to-use features such as one-click image compression and resizing of your own choice.

One of its unique features is the ability to link and upload pictures to a Microsoft SharePoint picture library. Therefore you can easily share photos among teamworkers on the Internet. Also, you can easily export photos from the program to other Office programs, and allowing you to specify image dimensions before you do so.
